Alan:

Thanks for the reply. I did an initial read of the page and it looks
interesting. That being said, I'm going to have to take a few more
passes to make sure I understand it.

If I read correctly, it isn't a replacement for logging to
/var/log/messages, just a way to filter those logs into another log that
only gets what I want to see?

You can use it to redirect all iptables messages to a seperate log only.

You may want to look at ulogd in the fedora repo. I have used this in the past
for saving data to mysql.

Alan:

Thanks for letting me know that it wasn't what I expected on first reading. I'll look into the ulogd.
