Disabling logging in Firestarter [SOLVED]
Hi,
The problems is that firestarter fills my "/var/log/messages" with unnessary logging of event and thus, consumes much more ressources than needed. I've been looking around the system's config files and the internet but found nothing. I use firestarter 1.0.3. Here's an example: Code:
Inbound IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=81.57.18.5 DST=216.239.84.221 LEN=53 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=56 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=4666 DPT=4666 LEN=33 PS: If you don't understand why this bugs me, it's because I forgot to mention an event pops up every 1s. ;) Worst is; most of them aren't serious attacks... |
Hi, I've just found the solution.
Open "/etc/firestarter/configuration". And modify this line(located at the end): Code:
LOG_LEVEL=info Code:
LOG_LEVEL=none Details: Acceptable values for LOG_LEVEL are: -info: log warning + errors + events -debug: log debugging info -warning: only log warnings -low: don't log too much(as you guessed; I don't know this one) |
config file is re-written
The configuration file at
/etc/firestarter/configuration is read-only and re-written on restart, so the logging changes are lost and it resumes spewing out a load of nonsense. The best fix at the moment is probably to turn down all debug logging on the machine. |
i noticed the same thing put this line in your /etc/rc.local or some other startup script
sed -i 's/info/none/g' /etc/firestarter/configuration |
