Hi Sir I did set up the klogd parameter the way you say to me. I haven't been getting any intrusion logging message on the /var/log/messages file for the moment, maybe I'll get some tomorrow. :o) Only one thing: Why didn't this problem occur at all with ipchains ? Thank you very much for your appreciated help. Best regards. Jean Francois Ortolo
