hi, simply set up a log-chain for accepting and/or rejecting packages first jump to the log chain, then reject, deny, allow... from there :) do a simple google for 'iptables+logfile' , this results in a lot of sites with many hints. i did the same thing, you also may have to change your settings in /etc/syslog.conf ;) it realy depends on what you like to log... dont log too much, this will result in a very-big logfile, .....(think of your hd-space in /var/ or somewhere else...) volker ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deshwal Chand" <CDD@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Netfilter (E-mail)" <netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 2:27 PM Subject: How can I view detailed log of IPTABLES > Hi > > I have IPTABLES 1.2.5 at Redhat 2.4.7-10.
