<quote who="Osamu Aoki"> > Does anyone have way to stop overwriting console screen? i very rarely see the console of my firewalls..but you may want to look at /etc/syslog.conf daemon.*;mail.*;\ news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\ *.=debug;*.=info;\ *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole that may be the source of the messages on the console. also you can turn off logging on the firewall rules (i only have logging on for debugging then i turn it off). nate
