Actually, I don't know what happened, but after a reboot and redoing the
change to /etc/init.d/klogd and restarting it, the firewall messages are
being written in /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log and
/var/log/syslog. Must be ghosts in the machine, as they say...
Thanks a lot for your help. I don't know if you had any other users on
Alpha, but you can consider this as a success report. Things work as
well as they did on my i86 machine, which is great since the Alpha cost
me about 85$ canadian total! :-)
Thanks again,
J-S
