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:bogons
![Big Grin Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
rop: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

SHOREWALL-LITE-VAR(5) [FIXME: manual] SHOREWALL-LITE-VAR(5)
NAME
vardir - Shorewall Lite file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
DESCRIPTION
This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state
information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the directory used is /var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
The file contains a single variable assignment:
VARDIR=directory
where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from /var/lib/shorewall-lite to the new
directory before performing a shorewall-lite restart.
Note
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in favor of specifying VARDIR in the shorewallrc file used during
installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the specified path name to hold state information.
Example:
VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/
The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its state in the directory specified.
EXAMPLE
VARDIR=/root/shorewall
FILES
/etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
