I am new to iptables, and I have a trivia question...

Is there any easy way to arrange for the Linux iptables LOG target (or
some other user-defined target) to log stuff to the syslog security.*
facility, rather than to the kern.* facility?

If so, I'd really like to do that.  It will make me a bit more comfortable
as I administer both FreeBSD and Linux systems.  (On FreeBSD, firewall
logging goes to the security.*/auth.* facility.)
