    Claudio,

    I was just trying to track down the exact same problem you're having,
    and happened across your post while Googling for solutions. I
    finally sorted it out on my system (which is running Mandrake 10 with
    a shorewall). I was goofing around in Webmin (which I highly
    recommend as a management tool for your system), but couldn't find
    anything in the Shorewall configuration module that seemed to affect
    the production of these BANDWIDTH_IN and BANDWIDTH_OUT messages.
    However, poking around some more, I happened across a Bandwidth
    Monitoring module - opening it up, I realized I must have turned it
    on at some point, and never turned it off. This was the cause of
    these BANDWIDTH messages filling up my logs - every single packet of
    any kind was being logged by the bandwidth module.

    To be honest, once this solved my problem I didn't investigate
    further to see what config files were actually specifying the
    bandwidth tracking... but it should be pretty easy to sort out by
    Googling a bit for info about the Bandwidth Monitoring module -
    should point you to the right config files.

    Regards,
    -Zach
