Stop logging to the console

Hello,

I seem to have a problem here that I cannot find the correct answer for.  I 
need to stop logging to the console.  Why?  Because I'm running a 
router/firewall and it's not running X.  Because of iptables writing to the 
console it makes doing any kind of editing or reading almost impossible.  I 
need to stop this behavour.

My /etc/syscrl.conf  looks like this:

# Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux
#
# For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled.  See sysctl(8) and
# sysctl.conf(5) for more details.

# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

# Controls source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1

# Do not accept source routing
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0

# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
kernel.sysrq = 0

# Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
# Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

#stop logging to the console
kernel.printk = 3 4 1 7


But it doesn't seem to be working.
