Do I really need to know about every one of these stray packets?
Two solutions. The easy one is to remove the 'info' from the entries in /etc/shorewall/policy That will kill all shorewall logging of dropped packets. The second solution for those with plenty of time is to edit /etc/syslog.conf so that shorewall info log entries are not put into syslog and instead go in a different log. (You will also need to set up logrotate to rotate that log) See 'man syslogd' derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
