iptables logging to console (all basic solutions have failed)

["Adam Warner" <mailing_lists@consulting.net.nz>]

Hi all,

I'm running Debian testing with a custom compiled 2.4.5 kernel. Since I've
enabling logging with my iptables rules (at info and warn levels) every
single log is being output to the current console.

At no point in /etc/syslog.conf do I have any logging to /dev/console. And
attempts to log to, say, /dev/tty8 work but continue to log to the current
console.

Yes, I used apt-get install klogd after searching archives and finding that
this should be installed (I initially started a while ago with a floppy
install of 2.2r3).

I've tried rebooting, restarting syskogd and klogd and finding messages in
the archives that go along the line of "yeah, this appears to be happening
to some people."

As you can imagine, it's very easy for iptables logs to flood the console in
a second.

Thanks,
Adam
