Reading through the example config: /usr/share/doc/ulogd/ulogd.conf I noticed that the /etc/ulogd.conf file from the recent system upgrade is incorrect. Here is the corrected ulogd.conf, which was missing the IFINDEX plugin in the stack: [global] logfile="/var/log/ulogd.log" loglevel=5 rmem=131071 bufsize=150000 plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_NFLOG.so" plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_raw2packet_BASE.so" plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_IFINDEX.so" plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_IP2STR.so" plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_filter_PRINTPKT.so" plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_output_LOGEMU.so" #stack=log1:NFLOG,base1:BASE,ip2str1:IP2STR,print1:PRINTPKT,emu1:LOGEMU stack=log1:NFLOG,base1:BASE,ifi1:IFINDEX,ip2str1:IP2STR,print1:PRINTPKT,emu1:LOGEMU [log1] group=1 [emu1] file=/var/log/ulogd.syslogemu Wayne S
