the actual firewall itself and see all this info that I had my

The answer is in your LOG rules (--log-level) and syslog.conf(5). LOG
uses syslog(2) facility "kern" and priority as set in --log-level
(default is probably "info".)
Thanks for the info. I got to reading the man pages on syslog. My
iptables were logging with the value 'debug'. From what I read, if I
understand this correctly, that will cause syslog to send the message to
the screen. I changed my iptables to a log-level of 'info' and it is
now sending the messages to /var/log/messages.
Thanks again.
