It seems that these last three rules accept basically all packets and
thus the LOG rule is never reached.. Or do you have more network cards
than eth0 and eth1 ?

You say it works for FORWARD, but I don't think I see how it could..

I wonder if those ACCEPTs are there by mistake.. maybe they should be at
the end of the RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT chain instead?

If you need further help, please give more info about your network setup.
