Logging iptables

[Tim Dijkstra <newsuser@famdijkstra.org>]

Hi,

I was wondering if I could get iptables to log to a separate log file instead of /var/log/messages. When I am working on my firewall /var/log/messages sometimes gets flooded with messages...   

I understand that iptables uses the 'kern' syslog facility, does this mean I can't separate it from the rest of the kernel messages? Or is there maybe some hack/config option to get iptables to use something else...

Thanks,

Tim
