Thanks Dave, What about the other stuff it spurts out like: ll: header <ethernet addr> etc? Is that in the same place? (I don't want to remove something that was there before the firewall changes). Is this kernel security stuff merely related to logging? (The guide says you should get the firewall working first before enabling it). Tim Harrell

I'm no longer running any kind of firewall at all so why am I still getting these martian messages? Has it patched the kernel somehow?
No, it's a sysctl you can change at any time without needing to rebuild kernel.
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/log_martians and you'll get some '1's if its enabled.
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/log_martians and the messages will be supressed.
regards,
Dave.
