The logs messages are sent to the syslog daemon, so it's up to that daemon to decide where to put them - up to a point. You can configure it in /etc/syslog.conf. See the man page for details.
2- can SFW log directly to a mysql database? if so how `??
You need some kind of post-processing for that. The firewall, certainly doesn't. The syslog daemon, neither. There is an improved daemon, syslog-ng (next generation), but I don't think it does that. It has "filtering based on message content", and you need that to separate the FW entries. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

My smiley got cut off. He just mentioned Shorewall Firewall in his previous. He should check out the SFW list... Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.

If he's talking Shorewall, then he needs to look in: /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf for: LOGFILE=/var/log/messages and change it. Pretty obvious. (any why do we have to guess what he's talking about?)
