I tried creating a log for the output by altering the /etc/syslog.conf
file. I changed :
#kern.* /dev/console
to
kern.* /var/log/iptables
This put the output into /var/log/iptables, but the output is STILL
going to /dev/console as well. Notice that the appropriate line in
syslog.conf was commented out initially.
I don't know how to stop the output going to /dev/console except for
stopping the logging of iptables output.
Anyone know what might be wrong?
