Why not just send them to a file? Or better yet, don't log broadcast

Any ideas?
Check your /etc/syslog.conf
You probably have a line that says: kern.* /dev/console
and maybe *.emerg *
Look at your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.
you probably have a LOG target (-j LOG)
you can set --log-level on that line in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
I think those things are what you are looking for.
-Ben.
The line in /etc/syslog.conf is commented out, so it appears that
/dev/console is the default (man syslog.conf doesn't seem to say).
Does anyone know if sending non critical errors to /dev/null harm anything?
kern.info;kern.!err /dev/null
Thanks,
Bill

I tried creating a log for the output by altering the /etc/syslog.conf
file. I changed :
#kern.* /dev/console
to
kern.* /var/log/iptables
This put the output into /var/log/iptables, but the output is STILL
going to /dev/console as well. Notice that the appropriate line in
syslog.conf was commented out initially.
I don't know how to stop the output going to /dev/console except for
stopping the logging of iptables output.
Anyone know what might be wrong?
