Subject: dmesg problem in 2.5.73

Hi. I have a weird problem -- maybe its iptables, but I am using the
log target and they print at legvel 4, but I only want level 3 or
less to print on the console, so I did 'dmesg -n 3' but I am still
getting the iptables messages.

I thought I could do this all with syslog.conf, but that has never
worked.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Changing DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL (?) has been broken since
2.5.70 or 2.5.71. I checked kernel/printk.c, etc, but could
not see anything that was causing this.
