I tore my hair out for several days because, although shorewall iptrace
produced the appropriate rules as shown by iptables -n -t raw -L PREROUTING
and iptables -n -t raw -L POSTROUTING, nothing was recorded in
/var/log/kern.log.

It turned out, that my system (Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, kernel 3.16.0-51) had
the value ipt_ULOG in /proc/net/netfilter/nf_log line 2. This can be seen /
changed through: sysctl.

I didn't have time to figure out how ULOG works and how to make it work, so
the simplest solution was to run sysctl net.netfilter.nf_log.2=ipt_LOG

Perhaps this will be of use to someone else, and, perhaps someone can add
comment about a better solution that will be permanent. This sysctl setting
has to be repeated after reboots.
