Greetings all,

As newbie and not well know in Linux I use SuSE 7.3 prof. with SuSE personal Firewall. From the, by me, well know Windows-os I use severall firewalls on different pc's. What strikes me is that I have on these Windows-machines allways a easy to read logfile of the firewall.

Take a look at /etc/syslog.conf where you can see which logfiles are configured for "sytem"-logs an your machine on suse most of them reside in /var/log/...

This is something I cannot find on my Linux-machine. I went thru severall logfiles but cannot find anything that says something like : access denied, blocked, refused .... together with ip-addresses and so on.

if you want to see your actual configuration try (as root): iptables -Ln after looking at the output for a while, try man iptables (or man ipchains, ...)

Is their any logfile kept by this personal firewall of SuSE 7.3 and is their, where to look exactly ? Is their also a way to filter out these info.

Rits
