Hi,

I'm running Linux kernel 2.4.7, and I'm seeing the following in my syslog:

Oct 5 09:13:44 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:45 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:46 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 525795537, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:46 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:47 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:48 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 525861077, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:48 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 525927291, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:48 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 525992033, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:48 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 526057939, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:48 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 526123899, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:48 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:49 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:49 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 526189001, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:50 camelot kernel: svc: short len 4, dropping request
Oct 5 09:13:50 camelot kernel: svc: bad direction 526254179, dropping request

several (3 to 5) messages per second.

I have tracked down these messages to coming out of:

        /usr/src/linux/net/sunrpc/svc.c

but I do not understand what's triggering them, or what to do about them.

any suggestions, pointers, hints appreciated.

thank you, and regards,

-Greg

   You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
   software that's available on time. You can usually release software
   that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
