Check /etc/syslog.conf for anything directing messages to /dev/console or /dev/tty0 and comment out the lines if you don't want them. Some systems (potato? I can't remember what it did, I'm using woody) direct all kernel messages to the console as that usually means a small number of important messages only. Firewall logging creates an exception to that rule. You can probably put a filter in syslog.conf that will just exclude firewall logs from the console by some characteristic like their (presumably) low priority, but I don't know how. Commenting out the lines is a workaround. - -- Chris Boyle - Winchester College - http://archives.wincoll.ac.uk/ For my PGP key visit: http://archives.wincoll.ac.uk/finger.php?q=chrisb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7DhD1D834tscfhTwRAuN5AJ9f9cqcLI10Ge5QTw95V5OWIT7t1gCfXNxr wFqLpXoMzpTTIcSc+9iHU44= =t8Fk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
