Eleminating output to console

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

Did you remember to either restart or send a HUP to syslogd?

I have tried both, to no avail. Is there another ***log.conf file I should be looking at?

For the benefit of others, I'll admit my blunder.

After finally having enough of this I spent a good 1/2 a day reading up on this.
I'm guessing I either missed it in my tiredness or had a brain-fart.

Apparantly the setup uses klogd where I had to edit an entry

KLOGD =" "

to

KLOGD = "-c 5"

Note to anyone this is for Debian. Other entries are at
www.shorewall.net >Documentation > FAQs > FAQ 6.

Thanks for the time
