Yes Yuri this is true. It will log all kern messages. You can get what you want out of it with grep. Just read /var/log/firewall to figure out your search criteria. I'm not sure, but you may be able to redirect the log in syslog.conf through grep and force two different files to be written as well. I don't know if you can run programs from syslog.conf or not. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Bien [mailto:abien@gmx.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 8:08 AM To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-security] SuSE-Firewall logging Hi Try editing /etc/syslog.conf If u insert a line -- kern.* /var/log/firewall -- everything related to kernel msgs .. (including your firewall output) will be written into that file.. Maybe u also want to remove kernel msgs from /var/log/messages then .. Editing the line that says -/var/log/messages at the end will help you Maybe u also want to read syslog's manpage..

Hello!
Is it possible to have SuSE-firewall log it's data in a separate file, rather than in /var/log/messages? And if so, how? I did read the FM and the config-files :o)
Cheers! Yuri.
