Hi, I have been trying to get the messages from iptables out of /var/log/messages with no luck.

I tryied this settings: iptables -j LOG --log-level warn

in /etc/syslog.conf kern.warn /var/log/critical kern.none;.... /var/log/messages # have no other call to kern o warn in syslog.conf

service syslogd restart itpables -L -nv|grep LOG

All seems ok, but the messages are still getting into /var/log/messages

Is there a problem with iptables from Centos4.4 ? Or is it syslog? What im doing wrong?

Hi,

Have you tried using a number as a value?

#define LOG_EMERG 0 /* system is unusable */ #define LOG_ALERT 1 /* action must be taken immediately */ #define LOG_CRIT 2 /* critical conditions */ #define LOG_ERR 3 /* error conditions */ #define LOG_WARNING 4 /* warning conditions */ #define LOG_NOTICE 5 /* normal but significant condition */ #define LOG_INFO 6 /* informational */ #define LOG_DEBUG 7 /* debug-level messages */

The man page for syslog.conf mentions:

The keywords error, warn and panic are deprecated and should not be used anymore.

Hope that helps.

A.

Thanks Oliver
