Firewall logs in logs and terminal...
I have Firestarter installed and the logs generated are clogging both the terminals as well as the log files. It's especially troubling when I'm in a tty trying to do something and all at once the output of Firestarter/iptables shows up on the command line!! It's not an issue when I'm in a terminal in X...
Is there anything I can do to eliminate this? Thanks in advance! |
Comment out the appropriate console or tty line of /etc/syslog.conf ?

Firewall logs....

Thanks for the idea and I will explore it further. Do you have any thoughts on why the output is going to "all" the tty's (except for the xconsole terminal windows???)? |
I'm out of ideas for the moment then.
Any Debian users reading who can see why syslog output should be going to all ttys? |

is it ALL syslog output you are seeing on tty1 or just firestarter/iptables log?
(if you've got logger installed, try "logger hello world") |
There's a utility called "ulogd" that redirects firewall log to a separate file. See my post in macondo's sticky thread "Debian Configuration Post-Install" (first page) where I describe how to use ulogd with FireHOL firewall. I don't use Firestarter, but if you discover how to make ulogd work with Firestarter, please post it here for us to read. :)
