Hi there,
I installed firestarter on Debian Etch. From my understanding it is
pretty much a front end to the ipstarter firewall. Everything has
been going great except for one minor annoyance...
Every time I connect to the campus network I get bombarded with
broadcast SMB packets...fro my understanding, addresses of printers
and shared drives...iTunes maybe?

Perhaps you need to set the logging message level through dmesg. Look at
"man dmesg" and investigate the "-n" option.
Once you've found the correct value to provide for "-n," you would place
the appropriate command in /etc/init.d/rc.local or a custom init script,
e.g.:
dmesg -n4
On my own machine, I wouldn't have any reservation with placing the
command inside of /etc/init.d/firestarter, but that's just me ;-)
Also, you can do the same thing by setting the "-c" option for klogd
(/etc/init.d/klogd). Good luck.
