ipmasq and logging
I have installed ipmasq on a firewall box and would like to review the
transmissions which are logged and dropped. As syslog is flooded with
the exchange of magic numbers, this is not necessarily easy. From a
study of other iptable firewalls, I see it is possible to add
--log-prefix "Dropped" and I have copied ZZZdenyandlog.def to
ZZZdenyandlog.rul and added a log-prefix to the log rules. So far I
have seen nothing. Since the firewall box has a 20 Gbyte hard drive (it
is hard to buy anything smaller) I would rather redirect the log and
drop messages to a seperate file. Is there some way to do this?
