You may also want to modify one more log entry:
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
to
*.info;kern.!=info;mail.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
It will catch a few other messages besides the ipchains messages, but it
works fairly well. You will also want to add an entry in
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog to rotate the new file.
/var/log/ipchains {
notifempty
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
