I've setup an firewall and I want to log the rejects to a separate log file, I've done that but I've not been able to drop the
messages from dmesg, here is my conf file

options {
        chain_hostnames(off);
        sync(0);

        # The default action of syslog-ng 1.6.0 is to log a STATS line
        # to the file every 10 minutes.  That's pretty ugly after a while.
        # Change it to every 12 hours so you get a nice daily update of
        # how many messages syslog-ng missed (0).
        stats(43200);
};

source src {
    unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(256));
    internal();
    file("/proc/kmsg");
};

destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

#firewall

filter f_firewall { match("Rejected: "); };
filter f_no_firewall { not match("Rejected: "); };

destination firewall { file("/var/log/iptables.log" owner("root") group("adm") perm(0640)); };

log { source(src); filter(f_firewall); destination(firewall); flags(final); };

# By default messages are logged to tty12...
destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
# ...if you intend to use /dev/console for programs like xconsole
# you can comment out the destination line above that references /dev/tty12
# and uncomment the line below.
#destination console_all { file("/dev/console"); };

log { source(src); filter(f_no_firewall); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };

how can I fix it?

thanks
