Thank you, thank you.  Much nicer environment now.  :)

I'm inclined to submit a couple bug reports on this: 

  1. against the syslogd man page (I don't remember any 
     mention of klogd) and 

  2. against the default setup for klogd.  I can't imagine 
     that administrators want every single ipchains DENY 
     message echoed to every console--talk about a low signal 
     to noise ratio!

But I'm (currently) a hobbyist, not an admin.  Am I off-base here?
