[lug] IPTables and logging...

[Mr Viggy]

Naw, that's okay.  I can write my own, if I go that route.  I was just 
curious what people were actually using, reasons, etc.  I found one 
package that contains a bunch of PHP scripts, and (I'm assuming) copies 
the logs into a MySQL database.  I also found references to ULOG, a user 
space logging mechanism.

Thanks, though!!!
