IPTables

Hi-
	Iptables doesn't log by default, except for broad statistical
information available with iptables -lv
	In order to get it to log, you have to specify a LOG target
before each thing you want to log, i.e.:
	iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s black.listed.ip -j LOG
	iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s black.listed.ip -j REJECT

	see the iptables manpage for a few more logging options.  The log
file is sent to syslog, and generally winds up in /var/log/messages

Regards,
Erek
