Hmm... Which log file is it you're using? If it's just dmesg, that would explain your problem. You want to get those messages sent to syslogd or klogd or whatever; it's the logging daemon that provides (among other things) a time stamp. For instance: Feb 28 10:36:46 willow kernel: TCP DROP: IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=142.205.232.171 DST=64.229.19.111 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=51 ID=45630 PROTO=TCP SPT=443 DPT=35200 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 ACK RST URGP=0 Is a typical line from something like 'iptables -A <whatever> -p tcp -j LOG --log-prefix "TCP DROP: "' -- ,______________________________________________________________________. | David B.
