From www.susesecurity.com/faq: What does "kernel: martian source aabbccdd for 11223344, dev eth0" mean?
These are packets that Linux does not expect from the direction they came from (i.e. packets from internal hosts coming in on the external interface). The cause is probably a misconfigured machine
Also to figure out which machine is causing the problem this might help # use this to print out the IP of the hex address note 0x must stay perl -e 'use Socket; print inet_ntoa(pack('L',0x12c49cd4)), "\n"'; -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
