Of course! ------ Tip
Under RedHat and Mandriva, the max log level that is sent to the console is specified in /etc/sysconfig/init in the LOGLEVEL variable. Set “LOGLEVEL=5” to suppress info (log level 6) messages on the console. ------ It makes perfect sense now that I put two and two together! So if I configure Shorewall with level 6 (info) then setting LOGLEVEL=5 (notice in /etc/sysconfig/init) would suppress these to console. Your instructions state this clearly, but I just didn't put the two together. So I changed /etc/sysconfig/init to LOGLEVEL=2 and even rebooted the machine. But these messages are still dumping to the console. I've been using Shorewall for many years. In the last couple of months I upgraded my desktop to Fedora 7. Installed Shorewall first thing. But since now everything is in graphic mode (run level 5), I never noticed anything on the console because I never see it. But now that I put together a new server with CentOS-5 and changed it to runlevel 3, all Shorewall messages are directed to console. No other messages are dumped there, just Shorewall. If I log in from another box using SSH, no shorewall messages are seen. But as soon as I go back to the server room, Shorewall messages are scattered on the server's console (login prompt). It's weired don't you think? Since it's a test box I'll send everything to /dev/null and see what happens. Thanks again, John >J and T wrote: > > Thanks for the reply Tom.
