I set iptables rule for logging.

# iptables -I INPUT -m limit --limit 15/minute -j LOG --log-level 4
--log-prefix "firewall: "

It's logging in warning level. And my logs goes to kern.log file. It's
for now, but more over, this logs are flooded into console tty if i'm
without X. How can i set it to not goes into console? And why i have it.
In my /etc/syslog.conf i have standard settings. And only emerg is
logging into everyone. Look at my syslog.conf. What i have to change?


***** syslog.conf *****
auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log

To find out how to stop this, read "man dmesg" and inspect the "-n" option.

Out of interest, will dmesg -n X survive a reboot? Or is there another config
option for this?

dmesg without parameters shows the currecnt content of the kernel
messages buffer. This buffer has limited size and does not survive
reboots (but kern.log does).

'dmesg -n' sets the minimal priorities of those messages to be
displayed on the console.

No, it wouldn't survive a reboot. You can place the command in
/etc/init.d/rc.local.


You can also modify /etc/sysctl.conf. "Kernel.printk" is the value you
would want to change, and on my Etch system, line 10 has a sample
"kernel.printk" line that is commented out. See if uncommenting that
works for you.


You can also read at you leisure "man systcl"
