Hi,

I am a newbie so please bear with me.  I am looking at my various log 
files and in looking at the messages log I noticed that the following 
entry happens about every 5 min.

Sep 20 06:18:58 myhost kernel: Swansea University Computer Society 
IPX 0.34 for NET3.035
Sep 20 06:18:58 myhost kernel: IPX Portions Copyright (c) 1995 Caldera, Inc.
Sep 20 06:18:58 myhost kernel: Appletalk 0.17 for Linux NET3.035

Is this a problem other than filling vast qualities of disk space?

Second I see the following  about every 10 min.

Sep 20 06:15:04 myhost proftpd[21393]: pengon.jbmetalarts.com - 
run-time scoreboard file '/var/run/proftpd/proftpd-inetd' appears to 
be from a newer version of proftpd (1.2.2rc1).

Sep 20 06:15:04 myhost proftpd[21393]: myhost.mydomain.com

Is this a problem other than filling vast qualities of disk space?

BTW is there a book anyone would recommend to help me get up to speed 
on  Cobalt/Linux sys admin?
Thanks

Jim
