I run iptables firewall on all my servers, everything works great except all of the dropped packet messages show up on my console. My syslog.conf files states the following:
kern.* /var/log/kernel Subsequently, all of my iptables messages get logged to /var/log/kernel, as well as to the console. I use SSH to access my boxes, so the console logging does not bother me as much. In any event that I am actually at the console, however, it proves to be a hinderance. I've looked on google and have found a couple of solutions, namely this one, which I have implemented: run klogd with the following options: -c 4 -2 This does not appear to work, either. Any suggestions? RedHat 7.x/Debian 2.2, kernel 2.4.x ( this is happening on all of my linux boxes, I run kernel 2.4.13 thru .20). tim
