[lug] can ipchains log to seperate file other than /var/log/m essages

[Andrew Diederich]

Chances are good.  All of this sort of logging is determined by
/etc/syslog.conf.  Figure out what facility.priority you want
to log, then edit the conf file, and stop and start the syslogd
daemon.  NOTE: the file must already exist for syslogd to write
to it -- it won't create it on the fly.

Example:
mail.*                          -/var/log/mail

logs all mail related messages to /var/log/mail (all priority levels).
The facilities are rpe-determined, use man to figure out what your
choices are.
