One more suggestion; if I understand correctly, you want to tail -f a
logfile, but you only want to see certain events; perhaps this is what
you need:
tail -f /path/to/some/logfile | grep certain_event

Thanks for email. Actually, I want to be able to see the message in
context of whats around it as I am still learning about iptables and
/var/log/messages. I tried a grep and it was even harder to see if
anything was happening as I could do an action which I knew would leave
a message right then and there.
To be honest, now that I found out that the problem with ssh from F16 to
Cygwin was POM on the Windows side (and notice I am not limiting to just
Cygwin (smile)), it has become "not so important". But some of the
suggestions look worth looking at as I've wanted a way to get debug
messages out of iptables into a file other than /var/log/messages as I
try to learn more about usign iptables.
