Yeah, that noise definitely needs to stop. I'll poke around at the
pyroman configs config later tonight and see if I can stop that.
For future reference, all of our firewall configurations are in
'fedora-config/files/DEFAULT/etc/pyroman', and the logging in particular
is 04_log.py. So feel free to fix up any problems that you see.
This is the chain that is causing the ruckus:
## Log dropped packets in a nicer format
add_chain("USR_drop")
for state in ("NEW", "ESTABLISHED", "RELATED", "INVALID", "SNAT", "DNAT"):
iptables("USR_drop", "-m conntrack --ctstate %s -m limit --limit %s --limit-burst %s -j LOG --log-prefix \"CONN=%s \"" % (state, LOGLIMIT, LOGLIMITBURST, state))
iptables("USR_drop", "-j DROP")
I guess the question is, what *do* we want to log?
