I still do not receive separate 'firewall' logs and cannot find an option to enable them, or at least to enable them separately from 'messages' as is/WAS the case in SuSE 7.3.
Edit the file "/etc/syslog.conf", and add this line: kern.* -/var/log/kernel (or "firewall", but I prefer "kernel") Then edit this line: #*.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages and change it to something like this one so that kernel messages do not go to the general log (they can be megabytes long in minutes in case of some problems): *.*;kern.none;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages After doing those modifications, restart syslog (rcsyslog restart). Also, make sure the firewall or kernel message file is included in "/etc/logrotate.d/syslog" (I don't know if it was, because I modified it). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
