** Description changed:
- The gnome "Log File Viewer" does not log the Process Name (or
- Application Name) that generated the log item. For example, if an
- outbound internet connection is blocked and this event is logged, only
- the "ID" (i.e., PID) is shown in the report. But the PID is useless
- because it is ephemeral and does not live past the session. Users are
- left with no way to learn what Application or Process was responsible
- for generating the log item.
+
+ The kernel / netfilter is lacking the the ability to identify the local
origin of network conection. (see comments)
+
+
+ This lack was first reported against loging facilities, but tracked down
+ to kernel disability.
