Hi, Just recently tried out debian on one of my old machines in place of a redhat system I had been using for the past year. But I am having trouble with an iptables firewall script which keeps insisting on spraying stuff to my terminal (tty1,2,3...) even though its being syslogged into /var/log/messages with syslog priority of 'info' using a LOG target. It doesn't just print to any tty; it assiduously finds the one I'm currently on and prints to that (ie the one currently on-screen locally). It doesn't seem to happen when I log in remotely but still, this is starting to get me down.
example (iptables 'seems' to print this both to tty and /var/log/messages... ) ------------- IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=63.154.36.125 DST=203.206.0.244 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=110 ID=12283 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=3830 DPT=135 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 S YN URGP=0 IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=63.154.36.125 DST=203.206.0.244 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=110 ID=12305 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=3830 DPT=135 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 S YN URGP=0 ------------- (I compiled and installed a 2.4.13 kernel over the 'vanilla' 2.2.20 and am wondering if the LOG facility of iptables and syslogd are the problem. Have also disabled any '(x)console/tty' items from /etc/syslog.conf ) It can't be a big thing. Can anyone help?
