I just want a basic log file containing the source and destination addresses for all traffic in and out of via PPP, so that I can keep track of what connections to outside IP addresses are made, and from where (externally, or from something running on my system) they originated.
I've turned on the debug mode in PPP but it doesn't seem to provide what I want. For instance, it logs transactions from my system to my ISP, but doesn't log what's happening with any greater resolution (for instance, if I ping a system on the Internet, there's no record of the ping attempt in any of the system log files). The firewall as set up by "firestarter" logs blocked firewall penetration attempts, but not "legitimate" transactions in and out (perhaps there's a method, which I haven't found, to change that?) Is there any "built-in" facility that will accomplish this, or is it necessary/possible to construct something using "iptables", or is there a contributed app that will do it? I realize that there are log files for the various servers and utilities (FTP, etc.) that contain this information on a piecemeal basis, but it seems to me that it would make more sense to collect it at the connection point(s) in and out of the system, at least on an interface-by-interface basis. Once again, I'm surprised that a Web search and various site searches haven't turned up a solution to this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
