Hi, I'm trying to get iptables to LOG on a xen virtual machine, but for some reason I can't get iptables to log.
Here's what I'm doing: in /etc/syslog.conf I have: *.* /var/log/iptables.log I restarted syslog: # /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart Restarting system log daemon: syslogd. Now I setup the LOG rule: iptables -F iptables -X iptables -v -A INPUT -j LOG iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT I can't make it simplier I think. I check if the rules are ok: # iptables -nvL Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 630 packets, 46742 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 99 7092 LOG 0 -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 LOG flags 0 level 4 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 436 packets, 65874 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination I see that some packets are logged in, but I can't see anything in /var/log/iptables.log, or any other log file =( See: cat /var/log/iptables: Feb 22 11:51:09 jfg-pgslave2 syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart. Nothing more, even by generating some traffic. I don't see why it does not work (it works on other boxes) and I don't see how I can look deeper in order to debug this behavior =( I'm using a debian etch.
