Have you set up the iptables? If you want to delete the LOG rules from the iptables, you need to find out the line numbers of the rules and delete them. If you know the exact rules, you can use the exact rules to delete them. Looks like that rule is in the INPUT chain, so $ sudo iptables -n --line-numbers -L INPUT gives you the line numbers of all the rules in the INPUT chain. To delete the LOG target, take its line number n and $ sudo iptables -D INPUT n If you want to change where the message shows, instead of deleting it totally, you can change the log level to something else and/or tweak the /etc/syslog.conf $ sudo iptables -R INPUT n -j LOG --log-level level --log-prefix "Inbound " where n is the line number and level is the log level. Don't forget to use any other options you might have set for that rule (like -m limit etc.) See man syslog.conf and man iptables for more details. HTH, Simo -- :r ~/.signature
