Why not let iptables/netfilter specify where it should put the logging output. Now it defaults to syslog, but in the end... the logs get really really huge if you log many things with iptables. So why not add a flag to the userspace app or a givable option in the kernel configuration that enables loggin output to another file. Thanks!
