I'm getting the following error over and over in my syslogs. Can
anyone tell me what it means and how I can resolve the error?

syslog@192.168.0.170[kern.crit]: Aug 8 16:45:19 Message forwarded from
billingdbtest: unix: bpf: lo0 attached

Thanks very much for any help you can provide.

I had the same symptoms: IBM support told me to check for a prngd
process. Try "lssrc -s prngd". If you have this subsystem active,
that is the cause. I was told this daemon is not needed in AIX 5.3, it
was needed for openssl and is replaced by a "random" daemon.

I did:
stopsrc -s prngd
rmitab prng

"rpm -qa | grep -i prng" returned prngd-0.9.23-1 so I uninstalled
it with:

rpm -e prngd-0.9.23-1
