Hi,

on my NetBSD 1.5.4_ALPHA machine I saw today the following messages in
/var/log/messages:

Feb  4 10:00:01 metis newsyslog[255]: log file turned over
Feb  4 10:00:01 metis syslogd: restart
Feb  4 14:50:41 metis /netbsd: duplicate IP address 149.217.52.141 sent
from link address 00:50:51:40:1d:cb
Feb  4 14:51:33 metis /netbsd: duplicate IP address 149.217.52.141 sent
from link address 00:50:51:40:1d:cb
Feb  4 16:00:00 metis syslogd: restart
Feb  4 20:51:07 metis /netbsd: set{u,g}id pid 500 (netstat) was invoked
with fd 0, 1, or 2 closed
Feb  4 21:00:01 metis syslogd: restart
Feb  4 21:00:11 metis syslogd: restart

I think the first two are OK and the "duplicate IP address" messages
means, somebody tried (on purpose or by mistake) to use my IP.

But why has syslog been restarted again three times and what does
"set{u,g}id pid 500 (netstat) was invoked with fd 0, 1, or 2 closed" mean?
