On the BEFSR41, the logging is SNMP. I fiddled with it on another Linux distro using the UCD-SNMP/NET-SNMP package. I ended up turning it off. The data logged is not useful to a human being and I did not find a way to configure the SNMP package to turn it into something useful. What I found more useful was Snort, a 2nd NIC, and a hub in front of the router. Google for "Peering Over the Firewall", an article I had published on either UnixReview.com or Linux Journal's Web site. (Sorry for the vague reference, I am on a text-only laptop on a dialup line and Web surfing is painfully slow.)
