It's damn annoying..... Tom suggested moving to ulogd but I believe that's broken in 4.x? (no mysql support). I mainly want to offload my shorewall logs to mysql, that's my bigger picture.
Things worked much nicer in 3.x (well they all worked and played nice) Anyone have any suggestions?

K It maybe *shouldn't* happen, but I see the same as Adam (on 4.0). Tom Eastep would clarify that this isn't really Shorewall doing this - it's the Linux kernel. See http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq16 The "dmesg" command (part of BusyBox) is printing the Kernel Ring Buffer. Note that the contents of file /var/log/dmesg are different from the output of /bin/dmesg I'm not sure there is any way to control what gets written *into* the Kernel Ring Buffer. All of the logging configuration seems to control what gets extracted into the /var/log/* files. dMb ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
