promiscuous mode

Hello,

Using a FC4 box.

Checking in my /var/log/messages file I noticed that the kernel has setting my eth0 interface in promiscuous mode regularly:

Aug 21 14:30:38 sx1 kernel: eth0: Setting promiscuous mode.
Aug 21 14:30:38 sx1 kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
Aug 21 14:30:38 sx1 kernel: bridge-eth0: enabled promiscuous mode
Aug 21 14:31:36 sx1 kernel: device eth0 left promiscuous mode
Aug 21 14:31:36 sx1 kernel: bridge-eth0: disabled promiscuous mode
Aug 21 14:31:36 sx1 kernel: eth0: Setting promiscuous mode.
Aug 21 14:31:36 sx1 kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
Aug 21 14:31:36 sx1 kernel: bridge-eth0: enabled promiscuous mode

I believe that I haven't ran any program that causes this.

It is a normal kernel operation ?

How can I know what is causing this ?


best regards

Teo Fonrogue
