Hello list, I'm building a firewall-system with cisco-routers and a linux-box. All logging of the machines should be send via syslog to a log-box. For each machine I want a separate logfile. In cisco-ios I can say: logging facility local0 logging log-box, which tells the router to send all logging to log-box using facility local0. And tell the syslog on the log-box: facility local0 should be dumped in /var/log/router1 But I don't see any chance to change the facility of ipchains. It has the facility kern so that the logging of the firewall-linux-box is mixed together with the local logging of the log-box. Is there any change to configure syslog or ipchains to have two separate logfiles for the firewall-box and the log-box on the log-box.
