Firewall kernel messages end up in all logs instead of only arno-iptables-firewall.log

[Dirk Bonenkamp]

Binary package hint: arno-iptables-firewall

I have arno-iptables-firewall and rsyslogd.

This installs /etc/rsyslog.d/arno-iptables-firewall.conf.

This files states that messages will be logged to /var/log/arno-iptables-firewall and than dropped. This is not the case.

Fix:

Rename /etc/rsyslog.d/arno-iptables-firewall.conf to 10-arno-iptables-firewall.conf

This will load these options before other options and now the messages are only logged to the appropriate file.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug also affects me. However, renaming the rsyslog entry as suggested does resolve the issue for me - I just lose logging from the firewall entirely.
