iptables logging

[Brad Chapman]

Mr. aaz, Mr. Guilmette,

   To answer Mr. aaz's question, you can configure syslogd to route 
kernel messages
to another file, or to another system if you like. To answer Mr. 
Guilmette's question,
no. Not for the LOG target. However, the ULOG target, in combination 
with ulogd (IIRC)
can log stuff to a different spot. LOG just uses printk(), and klogd 
logs all printk()s
from the kernel with the kern.* facility.
