Hi,

I am using sysklogd with iptables.  I am wondering what the best
strategy is for sending iptables log output to a single file, rather
than having logged packets show up all over in /var/log/?  I haven't
been able yet to figure this out by myself.  I must be missing some doc
info somewhere.

Thank you.  Rob.

Here is what I have now for syslog.conf:

#  /etc/syslog.conf     Configuration file for syslogd.
#
#                       For more information see syslog.conf(5)
#                       manpage.
#                       This is from Debian, we are using it for now
