I am running Shorewall firewall config program to utilize iptables on a Debian 3.3.5 system. This system is setup for a getway/router. I am getting a message:

Shorewall:bogonsrop:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC+ mac address of eth0 SRC:someinternetIP DST=MYIPADD LEN=61 TOS+0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=114 ID=6673 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=512 SEQ=59628

on any tty connection that is onscreen.

Apparantly this is the log from an internet ip that has been hijacked/stolen. I prefer to keep the server as tight as possible, however this is gettting annoying. A friend informed me of commenting out the console portion of /etc/syslog.conf, but this didn't work (I commmented out the whole file).

Anyone have any ideas on how to eliminate log entry from appearing on my console all the time??

Thanks in advance,

Peter
