RE: ping to internet hosta through NameServer of provider

["Stanislav Puffler DiS." <stanislav.puffler@seznam.cz>]

Hallo,
have tried this, but don´t know exactly what to do, could anyone help me
please ? In syslog.conf console output is remarked - not permited I think.
And as for --log-level option, don´t know how to set up LOG target only to
syslog. Thanks...

Stanley

Good.

I am not sure I understand why this is a problem.   Do you mean you want the

logs to go to syslog instead of the console, or do you mean that you don't 
udnerstand why packets are arriving at your firewall and being logged when 
you are not creating them?

If it's the first, then you should investigate the --log-level option to the

LOG target, and check your syslog.conf setup.

If it's the second, then the simple answer is that packets are sent to 
arbitrary addresses around the Internet all the time, and it does not take 
long after plugging a packet logger into a previously unused IP address 
before you start seeing traffic turn up...

Antony.
