John,

No offense was taken. I just wanted it to be clear, both to you and to
future readers of this thread, that control of logging is outside of Shorewall.

You can check on what level Shorewall is setting in LOG messages by:

        shorewall dump | grep LOG

Example:

    0     0 LOG        0    --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           LOG flags 0 level 6 prefix `Shorewall:INPUT:REJECT:'
    0     0 LOG        0    --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           LOG flags 0 level 6 prefix `Shorewall:FORWARD:REJECT:'
...

The 'level 6' in these messages means log level 6 which is 'info'.

Not at all. I apologize if I gave that impression. In my own defense, I've
been up for most of the last 30 hours; I had a house guest become violently
ill last night and he ended up in the ICU at the local Hospital. So I'm a
little grumpy today.
