RT-AC66U - Odd system log entries

[xleanone]

Yesterday I installed Merlin's 3.0.0.4_376_49_5 firmware. I run the router in AP mode off my Verizon box to get better wireless performance. Everything seemed to operate just fine. This morning I went ahead and cleared NVRAM, restored factory defaults and reset all my settings (I used the NVRAM Save/Restore script that someone so graciously provided). All still worked fine.

Just now happened to go back in to see if the NTP had reset the system time, and it had. Looked at the the system log and found a string of messages:

These repeat every 60 seconds and have since the router was re-booted. Can anyone tell me what's going on? I am not an expert by a long shot.

Thanks.

Resolution without solution

I went back in a few minutes ago and disabled TELNET (which I had enabled for the NVRAM Save/Restore script). The log entries stopped and have not re-appeared so I conclude that something in the TELNET enablement caused the errant messages that resulted in the log entries.

Process of elimination used to work when I was writing IBM 360 ALC, and I guess it still does.

Regards.
