ipchains not logging to syslog

["Jeremy Gaddis" <jeremy@gaddis.org>]

Has anyone experienced an issue with ipchains not logging
via syslog?  The log info for the packets that should be
logged is output to the first VT, but this is hardly
convenient as the machine is put up in a closet.

[jeremy@MARS:pts/0:~]$ uname -a
Linux mars 2.2.23 #4 Thu Jan 23 22:15:03 EST 2003 i486 unknown

[jeremy@MARS:pts/0:~]$ grep -v ^# /etc/syslog.conf
*.*                             @192.168.0.2

Everything else gets probably logged, however, nothing appears
from ipchains.  The default policy for the input chain is ACCEPT,
however, there are individual rules for packets that I want allowed,
then there's a default "catch-all" at the end of the input chain
which should log everything that isn't allowed.  The packet logs never
make it to the loghost however.

[root@MARS:pts/0:~]# ipchains -L input -n | head -n 1
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):

[root@MARS:pts/0:~]# ipchains -L input -n | tail -n 1
DENY       all  ----l-  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             n/a

The packets are indeed being blocked (and logged to the first VT),
but nothing is reported via syslog.  Has anyone experienced an issue
of this sorts before?

Thanks,
j.
