iptables Logs

[Matthew Hellman]

It apparently depends on your distribution and version.  In Redhat 7.1 the
file /etc/sysconfig/syslog allows you to change how klogd is started.  In
Redhat 7.0 that file doesn't exist.  I guess you'll need to figure out how
klogd gets started and add the appropriate "-c n" option. In Redhat 7.0 I
just modified /etc/init.d/syslog.  Goodluck,

Matt
