Shorewall users - Aug 2002 - firewall messages logged to syslog AND console

Currently I am using Shorewall 1.3.5 on both a Debian 3.0r0 and RedHat
7.3 box running kernel 2.4.18. They actually work quite fine.

However I do have a small problem:

All dropped/rejected packets are logged to the syslog AND console which
makes working on the console quite a mess.

As far as I know nothing is wrong with the default /etc/syslog.conf of
both distributions.

Does anyone recognize this and has a solution to solve this problem?

Thanks

That is FAQ # 16 (http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm).
