Some people have reported system degradation which we have traced to
an overactive syslog daemon. The activity is caused by logging a lot
of SMB/Windows networking information on the external interface.
I have updated e-smith-packetfilter to:
Ignore SMB traffic
Ignore RIP (routing) traffic
There is also a new "Logging" property for the masq service:
masq=service|.....Logging|(all|none|most)
The default is none, so no packet logging is done of denied packets.
To log all denied packets,
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop masq Logging all
This will return your system to the logging state of 4.1/4.1.1.
To log all denied packets, except SMB and RIP
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop masq Logging most
NOTE: "most" is currently anything except "none" or "all" - THIS MAY CHANGE
