I have a Fedora 10. NetworkManager is stopped. Network is configured with a static ip address.

On my screen i have this : alt text

How do i disabled that network information output ? I don't see it on SSH, only the main console.

Thanks !

Typically console output is specified in /etc/syslog.conf. Fedora 8 and newer uses rsyslog, which would be /etc/rsyslog.conf. Looks like netfilter (iptables is the userland client) activity to me.

I don't have syslog.conf and I didn't find any service with a name that look like netfilter. – Bastien974 May 25 '10 at 17:54
I played with my iptables with the rule : iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-level 4 I even tried level 1, but it still continue to log everything. I restarted rsyslog also, i really don't want to disable the log. edit: it stopped with a log level 7. I thought that 0 emerg, 1 alert, 2 crit, 3 err, 4 warning, 5 notice, 6 info, 7 debug. So isn't it supposed to log more and more ? – Bastien974 May 25 '10 at 19:08
The log level is identifying the "type" of log. Daemons output logs using a level, as you listed above. How the different levels are handled are specified in the rsyslog.conf. The iptables rule is specifying what log level is associated with the messages. – Warner May 25 '10 at 19:28

if you don't want all kernel messages to console, you can cut it in /etc/sysctl.conf by adding kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7

Use it by sysctl -p command. It works at least on Debian and Ubuntu, so why not in Fedora
