Hello, recently our network is grinding to a halt.
it looks like it is as a result of the amount of 
junk network packets being generated by our FreeBSD boxes.

We determined this by running tcpdump.
can someone tell me where the following originate ...

09:58:47.753554 iner14.ucc.ie.1026 > 144.234.144.255.111: udp 108

thanks in advance

by the way please email me as dave@cs.ucc.ie, as I rareley get a chance
to read the group, as much as I would like...

regards
Dave
