I tried my logging rules with '--log-prefix "IPTables DROP:"' and use
syslog-ng to filter them. If you google for iptables and syslog-ng
there's some more help.
What _I_ didn't figure out is, how to stop iptables from logging to
standard-out;M syslog-ng seems only to additionally write it to my
specified file.
