Root Partition Fills Up Completely After a Few Hours

[Scarletdown]

Okay, this is my weirdest Linux problem yet.

Leaving the system unattended for a few hours, the / partition on my 
hard drive mysteriously fills up.  When I open up KDiskfree, the 
partition in question shows as 100% used (red line all the way across.)

This has happened twice now.  The first time was after I went to bed 
last night.  When I got up this morning, the drive was full.  Then, it 
happened again while we were out doing Christmas dinner and movies.  We 
left around 11:30 this morning, and when we returned just about a half 
hour ago, it was full again.  Both times, I was able to clear it by 
logging out and back in again.

I'm suspecting that the culprit is ipmasq.  I noticed that when I'm 
logged in to any text console, I occasionally get various firewall 
status lines, such as:

IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=68.113.22.3 DST=68.111.54.95 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 
TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SP

I'm guessing that this stuff is also going into some sort of temporary 
log file, which gets rather full after a few hours.  What can I do to 
stop this?  At the very least, I would like to set things up so ipmasq 
either creates no log file, or limits the size of the file to something 
reasonable.  I'd also like to set it so those messages don't come up on 
the screen as well, as it gets rather annoying when I'm working from a 
console.
