I'm seeing a lot of these lines in splunkd.log every 30 seconds from some forwarders :

05-24-2011 10:10:05.400 +0200 ERROR TcpInputProc - Error encountered for connection from src=192.168.0.22:33783. Success

I am getting data from these hosts, everything appears to be normal but I'd like to make sure that nothing bad is going on here..
