Hi,

We need to make another decision about Shorewall / Shorewall6 logging of
"DROP" and "REJECT" messages:
   - Should both sets of messages go to /var/log/shorewall.log ?
   - Should IPv4 messages go to /var/log/shorewall.log and IPv6 messages
to /var/log/shorewall6.log ?

I currently favour the second option, for consistency with the -init.log
files and in case we want to process the logfiles in some way.
Thoughts?


Both Shorewall and Shorewall6 specify LOGFORMAT="Shorewall:%s:%s:" in
e.g. /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf so simply matching on "Shorewall" is
not enough separate out the logs, and it is not possible (or at least
not easy) to change Shorewall6 to specify LOGFORMAT="Shorewall6:%s:%s:"
because that makes the log string too long... I tried that and got an
error.

I do have a working syslog-ng configuration that checks the format of
the SRC= address and sends IPv4 logs to /var/log/shorewall.log and IPv6
logs to /var/log/shorewall.log. I think if we do that it stills gives
the option to use ulogd instead (with ULOG in the Shorewall(6) config
files). Seems like a good compromise to me.
