Logs from ipchains go to the same place as all your logs from
kernel, exact location depends on your syslog configuration. Take a look
in /etc/syslog.conf and find a line with:
kern.*
on the same line there should be a name of file where the kernel logs go
to. If you can't find such line then probably you have line similar
to:
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
which says that messages from most facilities (including kernel) go to
/var/log/messages.
