Hi List,

I am having a problem abt IPtables Logging.
The LOG target logs the messages to a particular file say /var/log/messages depending on the entries in syslog.conf. Now my problem is, i want to log messages in some other special file. Or i can say, a process is running which will receive all the LOg messages and will store it. I was thinking abt the sol for this. I went thro the code of iptables Logging in extensions folder. There are files like libipt_LOG.c where we are having print statements. So is it fine if those statements gets replaced with the api i will provide for logging in some special file. If it is, Then i think i have to write the patch for it.( And i think this patch is for iptables in usr mode only). 

If it is not okay, Then i think i have to provide a new target which will do these things. But in that case, i don't know how i can do this.

Plz give ur suggestions in both the cases.

Thanks & Regards.
Amit.
