/sbin/e-smith/config setprop masq Logging none
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

will stop all firewall logging.

If you want to selectively drop that particular log, then you'll need to add a custom template fragment for /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq.

Thankyou Charlie
I have done that now but i dont know how to build that fragment or cutom template
I know why i get all that traffic becourse of that
Eserver lugdunum 17.3 i put up but thats over now
ihave 4 mb down and 512kb up so thats to little connection anyhow to do that

It moves all the iptables deny log entries to a different log. This makes the messages log much smaller and faster to search.
