I have setup my firewall as I want it and I have a logging parameter set in each of the chains INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT.

This logging statement was copied from the Netfilter tutorial.

 

Iptables –A INPUT –m limit –limit 3/minute –limit-burst 3 –j LOG –log-level DEBUG –log-prefix “INPUT packet:”

 

When I run the command:

 

Iptables –v –list

 

I can see that at times I am actually logging information (or rather it indicates this by saying that so many packets etc have been captured by this rule).

 

Now this my question.  I assumed that this would be logged to the syslog daemon and then would be in /var/log/messages (I am running Linux RedHat 7.3), but it does not appear to be there.  Has anyone got any ideas where this maybe going?


Thanks very much,

 

Russell
