Funny Syslog-Message...

[Frank Schneider]

Hello...

Had just this message in /var/log/messages:

-------------
Sep 13 21:07:00 falcon kernel: TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer
192.168.1.254:515/757 shrinks window 3368746969:3368747993. Repaired.
Sep 13 21:07:13 falcon last message repeated 5 times
-------------

Did not know that my system owns a "cloaking device"...shall i be
careful that it does not dissapear sometime ? :-)

Does anyone know whats meant here ?
The IP is my printerbox, the message comes often when i print...but the
printout is normally OK.

Solong..
Frank.

Microsoft isn't the answer.
Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.

I'm no kernel-hacker but a quick grep through the kernel source points to
tcp_timer.c, line 338.  There are some comments about what is going on.  As far
as I can tell it is not a problem.
