Why strange error messages "FRADI" show up in the kernel log
Issue
- We are seeing some strange error messages show up in the kernel log. Some of the messages are coming from this iptables rule:
[root@hostname ~]# iptables -t filter -L FORWARD -n -v
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 372 packets, 19344 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
372 19344 LOG all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 LOG flags 0 level 4 prefix `FORWARD:'
[root@hostname ~]#
-
These can be identified via the "FORWARD:" at the beginning, but there are these other messages mixed in with them, they don't seem to have any sort of identifiable prefix and I am wondering what is causing them. Its this kernel version:

Here's the messages:

[root@hostname ~]#
- Any clue where these messages with "FRADI" in them are coming from? We are wondering if they might be related to some strangeness.
