Stopping the logging to console from pf ?
Hello, I'd like to stop pf logging to the console. So I've read syslog.conf(5) syslogd(8) and then I tried my best with /etc/syslog.conf. By deleting one service after another: *.err;kern.warning;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console where I've just completely commented out any logging to the console, but pf is so persistent, that it just keeps logging on. How can I stop pf from logging to the console as I find it distracting to type when its various messages keep popping up ? Thank you ! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could set kern.consmute=1 using sysctl and see if that does the trick. Keep in mind that will also silence quite a few other things. -Glenn Thanks ! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Once I stopped it, the messages kept on pouring to the console. So I had a look in the pf.conf and sure enought the problem was there: set debug loud once I changed it to: set debug urgent the noise went away. Your suggestion helped me find it.

Had a look at conscontrol(8), very interesting. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
