Hello All,
I use APF firewall on my apache server for last couple of months..But only one servers shows these lines in /var/log/messages

Here is my port configuration :
IG_TCP_CPORTS="21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,3306"
IG_UDP_CPORTS="53"
EG_TCP_CPORTS="21,25,80,443,43,2089"
EG_UDP_CPORTS="20,21,53"

It's a Fedora core 1 server with WHM 9.4, solely used for database(mysql 4.0.18 ),with CPU Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz(4),RAM 2Gb
I used to configure this on all servers ... still only this server is crying out !!
Why?Anything wrong?
Please help !!!

In the conf.apf you can set it you want it to log in the server logs. That is probably the only server you have set logging to the messages file. That is just the firewall dropping packets, perfectly normal.
