[Vuurmuur-users] Logging problem

[Spud <spu...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have been trying to stop vuurmuur writing to the syslog as its just
flooding the logs making them
impossible to find anything, so started googling and found this

https://www.vuurmuur.org/trac/wiki/Logging

First it talks about editing '/etc/syslog.conf' and adding 'kern.=debug
/var/log/firewall'

There is no '/etc/syslog.conf' but I do find 'rsyslog.conf' so look in
there, tells me to look in '/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf'

Ok the format looks like what I'm looking for so I make these changes
'*.*;auth,authpriv.none;kern.!debug    /var/log/syslog'


I have also gone into vuurmuurs configuration and changed the system
filename from '/var/log/syslog' to '/var/log/firewall'
and changed the loglevel to debug.

This is where the problems then start, vuumuur no longer displays any
output to the traffic.log from within vuurmurr_conf

So can anyone tell me where I might have to start looking to fix this
problem?

Thanks in advance.
