Unfortunately, this isn't the case.  I have rebooted my system multiple times 
since then and it hasn't fixed the problem.

I tried that.  It logs the firewall messages (plus some other things) to that 
file.  But it still logs to /var/log/messages and it still logs to the 
screen.  I don't actually want it to any additional places.  I just want it 
to stop logging to the screen.

It appears that it is the kernel facility that is being logged.  This makes 
sense since it's a kernel module that does the filtering.

LOGall  --  anywhere anywhere   LOG level warning 
prefix `Dropped:

it appears that it's logging with a priority of 'warning'.  When I wrote that 
I was "debugging" my firewall, I was trying to figure out why it isn't 
working.  For the time being, I am assuming it is because of an incorrect 
firewall rule.  I added a rule to display every received packet so I can see 
what is being received and what is being dropped.  I didn't actually modify 
syslog.conf to log any facilities at the debug level to do this.

I don't think this will make any difference since the firewall rules seem to 
be logging using the kernel facility.

I think they refer to the number of packets:bytes that that particular rule 
processed.

iptables grief

2002-09-07 Thread Stephen Rasku

I am using the following setup:

Internet
  | 
Cable Modem
  |
  | -- Firewall:  eth0 (IP assigned by DHCP)
  |
Firewall
  |
  | -- Firewall: eth1 (static: 192.168.0.254)
  |
 Null Ethernet Cable 
  |
  | -- Workstation: eth0 (static: 192.168.0.1)
  |
Workstation

>From the firewall, I can ping the workstation and I can get full access to the 
Internet.  From the workstation, I can ping the firewall and I can ping 
66.218.71.84 (yahoo) but I can't get Mozilla to work.   I have attached my 
iptables rules.

Any ideas?

...Stephen

Don't display firewall messages to screen

2002-09-07 Thread Stephen Rasku

I am in the process of debugging my firewall so I am logging every packet 
received.  However, it is logging to the screen in addition to logging to a 
file. It doesn't matter which virtual terminal I switch to; I still see the 
firewall messages.  I only want it to log to a file.  Any ideas on how to 
accomplish this? 

I am running iptables on Red Hat 7.1.  I have attached my syslog.conf.


# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
kern.*  /var/log/messages

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none/var/log/messages

# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.*  /var/log/secure

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.*  /var/log/maillog


# Log cron stuff
cron.*  /var/log/cron

# Everybody gets emergency messages, plus log them on another
# machine.
*.emerg *

# Save mail and news errors of level err and higher in a
# special file.
uucp,news.crit  /var/log/spooler

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*/var/log/boot.log



Where is ktop?

2002-09-05 Thread Stephen Rasku

I used to have a GUI-based tool which would display the process table (like 
ps) but it would display the processes in parent/child order so you could 
easily follow parent/child up/down the process tree.  I think it might have 
been ktop but I don't seem to have that on my system.  Is there something 
else that does the same thing?  I am running KDE 3.0.0 on Red Hat 7.3.
