I am also running iptables on RedHat 9.0. /etc/syslog.conf shows nothing being logged to the console. Yet, ever since applying the netfilter patch-o-matic tcp-window patch, all of its messages appear on my console. The netfilter mail lists say this is a misconfiguration of syslog but it sure looks correctly configured to me. No other iptables messages go to the console - just the tcp-window messages. How do I stop them!!! Thanks - John -- John A.
