I am not using your firewall package, but you might try looking for ulogd and using the ULOG target instead of LOG in your iptables rules. This will log all the firewall stuff separately from the kernel messages. Another approach is to add the "-c3" option to where syslogd is started in your distro. This tells syslogd not to log kernel messages less than I believe the info priority, but possibly its notice. Happy hacking. - -- Unix is a user friendly operating system.
