I have been trying to find some means to redirect the iptables log

One option recommended is using syslog-ng which allows redirection based
on regular expressions.
Does anyone have any ideas and/or experience using the syslog-ng package
with Red Hat 8.x ?
I'm a big fan of syslog-ng... it's filtering rules are much more flexiable.
For instnace I use it to do exactly what you're doing and write
ipchains/iptables stuff to /var/log/firewall....
destination d_firewall { file("/var/log/firewall"); };
filter f_firewall {
facility(kern) and match('Packet log:') or match('kernel: IN=');
};
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_firewall); destination(d_firewall); };
... it can be used a full replacement for sysklogd but i don't know how
'drop in' the available RPM's are. It's prolly worth checking them out.
Does this imply you have installed from source on RH8 system?
Any particular problems and/or concerns with doing so?
