Hi! I wanted to port SuSEfirewall1/2 to Debian and Red Hat. The result ist, that the netfilter works, but logging ist still to /dev/tty1-6. This nerves, if I want to do something direct on the server. If I login from remote (ssh) there is no problem with these logs and anyway the most time I setup things via remote. Any hints what's wrong? I looked in the script but did not find any options which tell iptables to log to console. Is it maybe a patch from SuSE within iptables? Why I did this: Debian and Red Hat offer more packaees than SuSE and the SuSEfirewall is a nice tool for setting up a firewall. Other "nice" firewalls need modifications on the hosts system - SuSEfirewall normally not! A Modification to SuSEfirewall makes it run with e.g. fireparse for giving out the loggs (I changed some of the logging-texts). Modifications are easy to be done (I modified one without DMZ-rules and one with extra blocking options for the config file). Philippe
