Configure Syslog to log a certain log-level to an alternate file, and then just use "-j LOG --log-level <level>". ie: if you wanted it to log as a notice, just setup Syslog to log notices to another file, and drop in a line that reads like: iptables -A LOGGING_TABLE -j LOG --log-level notice --log-prefix="NF: " I'm not too up on Syslog myself, so you should read the docs for that, but I do believe it is possible to log specific log-levels to an alternate file. -- Chris Shepherd ------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential information.
