Try something like this: set logging to, for example, iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG --log-level 7 --log-prefix "FORWARD: " Then in /etc/syslog.conf: kern.7 -/var/log/firewall -----Original Message----- From: Mario Udina [mailto:m.udina@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 10:51 AM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Logging Hello! I have done some googling however did not manage to find out if there is a way to define a file where iptables writes its logs. As I read in the man the file where the logs are written is the kernel log i.e. /var/log/messages is there a way to send this output to another file in order to keep the logs clean? regards, Mario Udina -- i would like to die as my gradfather did, quietly in his sleep and not in panic and disbelief as the passengers of his bus.
