-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I seem to have a problem here that I cannot find the correct answer for. I need to stop logging to the console. Why? Because I'm running a router/firewall and it's not running X. Because of iptables writing to the console it makes doing any kind of editing or reading almost impossible. I need to stop this behavour. My /etc/syscrl.conf looks like this: # Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux # # For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and # sysctl.conf(5) for more details. # Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 # Controls source route verification net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 # Do not accept source routing net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0 # Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel kernel.sysrq = 0 # Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename. # Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications. kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 #stop logging to the console kernel.printk = 3 4 1 7 But it doesn't seem to be working. - -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFChpW50xJrO8dQYHgRAqwZAKCFlCeRXBmiy3gNTV2wmmgFW/AWtACffUvB 40Ty2CH6c6jB+K+wHHaxb/0= =KbS8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
