Thanks for the info.  I got to reading the man pages on syslog.  My 
iptables were logging with the value 'debug'.  From what I read, if I 
understand this correctly, that will cause syslog to send the message to 
the screen.  I changed my iptables to a log-level of 'info' and it is 
now sending the messages to /var/log/messages.

Thanks again.
