What do you mean by "occasionally" ? Your system should at least be consistent about where it sends its log entries. > iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -j LOG Try adding a "--log-level=info" (or replace info with 3 if you have a version of iptables which doesn't like the log names) and make sure you have a suitable entry in your /etc/syslog.conf to send 'info' level messages to the desired destination, eg: *.=info /var/log/messages Antony -- The difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference, whereas in practice there is.
