Re: Old Annoyance Revisited (console cluttered with iptables noise)

Okay, I've dealt with this little annoyance before on another system, and managed to resolve it. Unfortunately, that was so long ago, I don't remember how I did it.

When I am working from the console, I keep getting messages like this:

IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:0c:6e:93:e5:7f:00:03:6c:07:b8:54:08:00 SRC=66.135.208.101 DST=24.113.69.183 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=114 ID=54911 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=3733 SEQ=3838321228 ACK=1340683061 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 ACK RST URGP=0

I know it is caused by iptables, but I can't seem to figure out how to stop the messages from being sent to the screen. Just having them go into syslog or some other log file is good enough. What do I need to do to regain use of my screen?



This is caused when you join the lines onto the LOG table, so AFAIK you would have to remove any logging lines, since I don't know a way to keep them going to /var/log/messages and not the console.

This is something I have been wondering (have them go to messages only) but haven't really looked at since I don't really use a console.
