Hi, I also had that problem.. I use "dmesg -n 1" to avoid getting those kernel messages on active consoles Bye i. -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Slawomir Orlowski Sent: terça-feira, 23 de Dezembro de 2003 18:32 To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx; redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: help needed: clogged console Hello, I have Linux RH 9.0 configured as filtering firewall, and getting a lot of (kernel, iptables) messages on active consoles. I have thought that putting in /etc/syslog.conf: # *.kern /dev/console kern.* /var/log/kernel kern.* /dev/tty8 would free me from this, but it did not. How can I force kernel message to appear only in /var/log/kernel log and on tty8 only? Best Regards I hope that somebody will be able to help me. When I'm getting a lot of dropped packages it is not possible even to log. Slawomir Orlowski
