Re: iptables LOG target problem with syslog

[Johan Bergström <johbe@sonera.com>]

Problem solved.

I didnt have klogd installed. Apparently syslogd by itself didnt like that
combined with iptables. I have no idea why. Anyway when I installed klogd
I got all my stuff from iptables logged as I wanted it to
/var/log/kern.log
