Shorewall generates rules to log every attempt to access any
protocol/port provided that:

a) You have the standard net->all policy:

        net     all     DROP    ULOG

b) You don't have a rule that handles the port in another way.
c) The connection is not silently dropped or rejected in the 'common'
chain ("shorewall show common").
d) The connection isn't being dropped/rejected by some other Shorewall
feature (blacklist, tcpflags, rfc1918, etc.)
