no "log" or "LOG" in it.

Of course there isn't.

Webmin provides an interface that allows you to point and click rather than use a text editor. It does not do your thinking and learning for you.

If you want to know how the policy file works, at a shell prompt type "man policy" or go to http://www.shorewall.net/manpages/shorewall-policy.html and read. There you will find that the LOG LEVEL column contains a syslog level. Don't know what a syslog level is? Then start by reading http://www1.shorewall.net/shorewall_logging.html. You will also learn there that Shorewall itself does almost no logging and that the log messages that you are seeing are generated by Netfilter and are routed to the various log destinations by syslog (or syslog-ng).

Finally, I advise against disabling logging completely. The sample configurations described at http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm provide sensible default settings.
