Hi,
In the past few days, a couple of our webservers (dual P3s)
have started to emit $SUBJECT into the kernel logs fairly
frequently:

Sep 7 15:11:04 web2 kernel: initial req->mss below 8

Sep 7 15:26:05 web2 kernel: initial req->mss below 8
Sep 7 16:26:04 web2 last message repeated 18 times
The machines are running RH6.2's stock kernel (haven't found
time to upgrade them yet). One has been up 35 days, the other
4 days.
Should I be at all worried about the messages? The source
around it suggests that it might have come from a dubious
header field in a received packet. Is something sending us
dodgy packets?
Matthew.
