SuSE does this with it's personal firewall when I installed my custom
firewall
I inherited this feature. It logs to /var/log/firewall I imagine this
would be
Pretty easy using a cron job and like cat /var/log/messages | grep
'insert firewall prefix' >> /var/log/firewall. Then you could get more
fancy with your script but that�s a start. I know there is a way to get
the log feature of IPTables to insert a prefix .. Ie. 'myfirewall'. Hope
I helped I would be curious to know if there is a better way of doing
this.
