[pptp-server] Logging fills my disks up

Hi
I have a poptop 1.0.1 server running on red hat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.15 with
netfilter_pptp_2_4_15 patch. The problem is, it fiils up my
/var/log/messages. I tried taking out "debug" from /etc/pptpd.conf but it
keeps logging.

This is the kind of logs I get:

grey kernel: ip_outbound_pptp_tcp(): OUT_CALL_REQUEST, CT=cc60f560, CID=3365
Dec 23 04:31:26 grey pptpd[8006]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,

How can I prevent syslog from logging this?

Thanks in advance
