Hi Ukeme,
Thanks for your help.
Turns out it was a log packet rule that I had for OUTPUT and FORWARD
that for some reason were not logging before the upgrade and were
definitely logging after the upgrade! I removed the log rules and my
log files are back to normal.
I have all SSH traffic allowed only to my home office static IP. Is
that not safe?
That packet log you saw happened to be traffic from me :)
Is PKI Auth better because no password is being broadcast?
Thanks!

Howdy,
From my understanding, a message like "RES=0X00 ACK SYN URGP=0" would
indicate a reply to a syn packet. Considering the source port is 22, I
would
suspect unauthorized access attempts on your server. On that note, I'd
strongly advise, [if you've not already done so] that you use the PKI
authentication mechanism and configure the SSH server to close any
connection attempt to your server that fails to use this mechanism.
Warm Regards

Subject: iptables help please
Since upgrading my install from CentOS 5.1 to 5.2 and I am getting lots
of errors in messages that look like they are iptables related.
If anybody could help comment on my iptables rules to let me know if I
have them set up incorrectly I would appreciate it :)
This is on an OpenVZ VPS at a remote data center and not a box on my
lan.

The xx.xx.xx.xx is my static IP for my home office.
The chain banished is IPs of crackers that were repeatedly trying to
get in my system and their source IPs are set to deny.
The type of error I am seeing is:

zz.zz.zz.zz=any ip accessing the server
IP.IP.IP.IP=IP of the server
My messages file is usually 44B and now in one day it is over 60MB!!!
with thousands of those messages being logged so I need help :)
Thanks,
Cameron
