Should this syslog message concern me?

Every 3 to 20 seconds I have this in my syslog:

Aug 14 10:06:01 kernel: ACCEPT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:70:81:05:2d:4e:fd:08:00 SRC=10.240.163.33 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=328 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=54343 PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=308

87U with .61, and the pixelserv/ab-solutions in place.

I'm not seeing that on my router, same model and firmware. I rule out AB-Solution ;-)

Have you turned on logged packets in the firewall?

Don't enable accepted packet logging, you will overload your router.

That entry is just a DHCP query between your router and your ISP - perfectly normal.

Thanks all. Logging was on--don't know how or why- but turning it off seems to have stopped the messages.

EDIT: Figured it out. A few weeks ago I was trying the WOL script in the WIKI, which instructs one to turn on logging for accepted packets. Then it stops, and so did I.
