Greetings all.  So I set up SuSE 8.2, and enabled the firewall.  I set it to 
log both drops and accepts, just so I could get a feel for how things were 
working.  But it logs the messages to both /var/log/warn and 
/var/log/messages.  I really don't need them in two places.  I would really 
like them in warn, not messages (since other more important messages end up 
in /var/log/messages and I'd like to be able to see them without digging 
through pages and pages of accept/drop messages).  But if I turn off logging, 
it turns off logging to both files - it's an all or nothing deal.  I've 
looked through /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 to see if there is anything in 
there about where to log to, but there isn't.  So I'm guessing it must be a 
syslog.conf thing then, but I've never been able to figure that one out.  :-)  
Does anyone know how I would set it so it only writes these firewall messages 
to /var/log/warn (or even /var/log/firewall or something completely 
independant)?  I fought with this once before with a RedHat 7.2 box that 
insists on logging firewall messages not only to log files but also to the 
console (it's very, very irritating when you're trying to actually use the 
console), but I lost that battle.

Thanks.

Ian
