I have a UML VPS (linode.com) with Ubuntu 6.04 ("Dapper"), 2.6 kernel, and Shorewall 3.0.4. I am accustomed to using Shorewall on real (physical) PCs running Debian, and have always successfully used the modification to /etc/init.d/klogd outlined in FAQ #16 to suppress log messages on the console. Since Ubuntu is derived from Debian, I assumed this would work there as well, but that does not seem to be the case. If there are any Shorewall users who are familiar with Ubuntu and could explain how to suppress log messages on the console, I would be grateful. If this is a general issue with Ubuntu, and not just unique to my circumstance, it would also be great if someone would update FAQ #16, since it seems that Ubuntu is rapidly growing in popularity.
