Hi Thanks i googled abit and found something else but its logging to terminal and to a log file how do i get rid of the terminal logging? Apparently you have to remove anything like: /dev/console, "root" or '8' in syslog.conf and there is nothing like that in it.I added the following to syslog.conf: kern.* /var/log/iptables Regards __________________________________________________________________________ http://www.webmail.co.za/dialup Webmail ISP - Cool Connection, Cool Price
