Description

I think there is a problem into the /etc/rc.d/rc.iptables file suggested by blfs book.. last line causes endless console messages. Set to # iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "FIREWALL:INPUT " solves the problem.

The log messages to the console depend on the level of messages specified to dmesg, as in

dmesg -n <level>

See 'dmesg --help' or http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/security/iptables5.html to change the log level of only iptables
