Hi and thanks i did look at the man pages but i am completly new to
firewalls so i got more confused than i was before. A little extra - when
i use LOG i can tjek out the messeges using syslog or dmesg - is there
a way i can filter this LOG information into its own log file in /var/log
?????
thanks
