    Hi,

    How can I stop Iptables logging to the console? I don't know where else to
    look. Below are my sysctl.conf and syslog.conf files

    Thanks for your help

    ###########################################
    Here's my sysctl.conf:

    # Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux
    #
    # For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and
    # sysctl.conf(5) for more details.

    # Controls IP packet forwarding
    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

    # Controls source route verification
    net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1

    # Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
    kernel.sysrq = 0

    # Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
    # Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
    kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

    # Stop logging to the console
    kernel.printk = 3 4 1 7

    ###########################################

    ###########################################
    Here's my syslog.conf:

    # Log all kernel messages to the console.
    # Logging much else clutters up the screen.
    #kern.* /dev/console
    #kern.* /var/log/messages

    # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
    # Don't log private authentication messages!
    *.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages

    # The authpriv file has restricted access.
    authpriv.* /var/log/secure

    # Log all the mail messages in one place.
    mail.* /var/log/maillog

    # Log cron stuff
    cron.* /var/log/cron

    # Everybody gets emergency messages
    #*.emerg *
    *.emerg /var/log/messages

    # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
    uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler

    # Save boot messages also to boot.log
    local7.* /var/log/boot.log

    #
    # INN
    #
    news.=crit /var/log/news/news.crit
    news.=err /var/log/news/news.err
    news.notice /var/log/news/news.notice
