I guess there''s a question there somewhere :) As explained in FAQ #6
(http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq6), NetFilter always uses the
''kern''
facility for logging and YOU get to pick the level. If you have used the
usual level of ''info'' then you would add:
kern.info /var/log/messages.fire
and restart syslogd. Note that ALL kernel info log messages will go to
your firewall log, not just NetFilter messages.
