Check /etc/syslog.conf for anything directing messages to /dev/console or
/dev/tty0 and comment out the lines if you don't want them. Some systems
(potato? I can't remember what it did, I'm using woody) direct all kernel
messages to the console as that usually means a small number of important
messages only. Firewall logging creates an exception to that rule.
You can probably put a filter in syslog.conf that will just exclude firewall
logs from the console by some characteristic like their (presumably) low
priority, but I don't know how. Commenting out the lines is a workaround.
