zero-length Oversized Ethernet frame
"Oversized Ethernet frame..." .... length 0
?
The machine is a web server, which is accessible from the web via port redirects on the firewall. I'm assuming that the packets originated from the web since it's a home network, but it would seem a little odd that packets redirected by one Debian machine (the firewall) would cause error messages in another. There's a W2K Pro box and a Windows ME box on the network, but there are no redirects to them, and it is a private network (NAT on the firewall).

PS I periodically get these ntpd messages... does it mean that synchronization is forever lost and I need to do something to fix it, or does it only indicate temporary loss of synchronization?
