Hallo, have tried this, but don´t know exactly what to do, could anyone help me please ? In syslog.conf console output is remarked - not permited I think. And as for --log-level option, don´t know how to set up LOG target only to syslog. Thanks...

Do you mean you want the logs to go to syslog instead of the console, or do you mean that you don't udnerstand why packets are arriving at your firewall and being logged when you are not creating them? If it's the first, then you should investigate the --log-level option to the LOG target, and check your syslog.conf setup. If it's the second, then the simple answer is that packets are sent to arbitrary addresses around the Internet all the time, and it does not take long after plugging a packet logger into a previously unused IP address before you start seeing traffic turn up...
