Re: unknown IP packets

sorry everyone, i should have done more research before i posted this.  it seems that the current release of iplog on 
freebsd has a problem with reporting these packets.  the latest cvs disables these messages by default incase anyone 
else is having this problem.  there were no spoofed packets being sent to me after all
