If this is on the FW/GW, then you want to log the FORWARD chain because a external packet (eg. internet) destined for an internal network, only goes through the FORWARD chain, not INPUT or OUTPUT. Is it only udp traffic you want to log? It looks like you are currently logging (if on the FW/GW) : a) outbound udp to 192.168.1.3 port 514 (syslog) ..but on eth0?? b) outbound udp originating on the FW/GW (not to port 514) If my interpretation of the setup is all wrong, please post more details. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
