Hello Mark, Thanks for the advice. But now I have a new problem. The syslog logs millions of such entries: Source and Destination to 127.0.0.1 Oct 5 10:35:17 nessusClient kernel: INPUT packets:IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=30292 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=631 DPT=34189 WINDOW=32754 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 Source = various ; Destination to 255.255.255.0 Oct 5 10:51:09 nessusClient kernel: INPUT eth1 Ext:IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:08:74:ab:0d:27:08:00 SRC=134.126.21.83 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=68 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=39383 PROTO=UDP SPT=1226 DPT=7100 LEN=48 Can you advise how to make the log less cumbersome (--log-level?) and not log unnecesary information like traffic from 127.0.0.1 or broadcasts? I am very thankful. Menon -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
