    IPTables logging?

    Can't figure it out. I'm running Slackware 9 with IPTables.

    I add the following line:
    iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG --log-prefix "[Logged System]" --log-level=info -s 146.201.45.100 -p tcp --syn

    I never see any logs in the /var/log/syslog file. I think syslog is enabled (a far as this Linux newbie can tell), since there are other non-IPTables logs in the file.

    Can you try some less specific rule to see if it's the logging or the rule that's wrong?

    Hiya,

    have a look in /var/log/messages

    If your only logging on "info", it may go there instead.

    Yep, that's where it was ... /var/log/messages.

    I found it about five minutes after posting the question, and meant to remove the post.

    Thanks for the help.
