Re: Neighbor table overflow. Virus?



ha ha. yes, except in this case I'm the only one with root privileges
and /etc/hosts is fine and incidently the loopback is also fine.
When I kicked off the user dialling-in, the problem immediately
disapeared. The user logged back on and the problem returned, I kicked
him off again (and suspended his account) and the problem was resolved
once more.
So it's definently because of this (and others) dialup user.

But I need protection against this. In this case its a virus/malware
(which is bad enough) but someone can also use this as a DoS attack....
