Hi all,

I set my iptables with policy "-P INPUT DROP" and my last line of INPUT 
chains to "-A INPUT -j LOG".

So everything packets not matching my INPUT rules will be LOG and DROP.

My problem is that iptables does not log anything to my syslog file.

I checked the syslogd configuration (debian default):

*.*;auth,authpriv.none          -/var/log/syslog

kern.*                          -/var/log/kern.log

*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
         auth,authpriv.none;\
         cron,daemon.none;\
         mail,news.none          -/var/log/messages


I checked counters of INPUT chains :
20       3   144 LOG        all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0 
  0.0.0.0/0           LOG flags 0 level 4

But nothing on my logfiles (syslog, messages, kern.log).

Does someone can help ?

Best Regards,
Alexandre
