The output of any rules specifying the LOG target is handled by your syslog
daemon (for which the config file is probably /etc/syslog.conf).
You can specify the logging level in the netfilter rule (with the --log-level
option to the LOG target) but you cannot change the facility number without
fiddling around with the source code.
If you don't specify anything particular in your LOG rules, you will probably
end up with log output sent to the console.

Antony.
