Re: Firewall Messages

[DS <redskins () comcast net>]

Ohh I thought you had it hehe, but that is commented out :) Oh have 
recieved messages asking if I have the /var/log/messages file there 
before the service started, answer is yes. I just recently updated to RH 
7.3 so I will see if I still get them on the console with the new OS.

Thx for everyones help so far.
