iptables & syslog help



Hi,

I'm having problems with logging from iptables, and I can't figure out
for the life of me what the problem is...  I'm trying to log some packets
from iptables, but they're showing up on the currently active console as
well as in the syslog (although not on xterms).  No other kernel messages
seem to be showing up on the console, just packet messages.  I'm running
debian unstable, kernel 2.4.23-686-1, sysklog version 1.4.1-13.  The
output of /sbin/iptables -L -n is:

<input output and forward chains removed>

Chain drop-and-log-it (5 references)
target     prot opt source               destination         
LOG        all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           LOG flags 0
level 6 
DROP       all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0   

where the drop-and-log-it chain is the only place I do any logging.  My
syslog.conf is at the end of the message -- sorry I can't do attachments
here well.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
