Hi, I''d like to use psad from www.cipherdyne.com that analyze iptables log messages on my firewall-shorewall. It complains to incorrectly configured iptables when starting. This is the message : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** The INPUT chain in the iptables ruleset on debian4 includes a default LOG rule for all protocols, but the rule does not have a log prefix of "DROP". It appears as though the log prefix is set to "Shorewall:INPUT:REJECT:". psad will not be able to detect scans without adding --log-prefix "DROP" to the rule. ** The INPUT chain in the iptables ruleset on debian4 does not include a default DROP rule for all protocols. ** The FORWARD chain in the iptables ruleset on debian4 includes a default LOG rule for all protocols, but the rule does not have a log prefix of "DROP". It appears as though the log prefix is set to "Shorewall:FORWARD:REJECT:". psad will not be able to detect scans without adding --log-prefix "DROP" to the rule. ** The FORWARD chain in the iptables ruleset on debian4 does not include a default DROP rule for all protocols. .. NOTE: IPTables::Parse does not yet parse user defined chains and so it is possible your firewall config is compatible with psad anyway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there a way for shorewall to be comatible with psad ? thanks & regards Petr Novak --- Odchoz? zpr?va neobsahuje viry.

This of course will make Shorewall log messages rather useless since you won''t know which chain generated a given message. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
