Hi

Luckily, I did it on debian 2 days ago..

My gateway/Firewall is on debian jessie.

What you did is correct however, in your /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf you 
should had you log filename, here /var/log/firewall:
--- content have the /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf ---
*.*;auth,authpriv.none;kern.!debug /var/log/firewall
---

Quick explanation of your problem
your configuration : records the iptable events, stores them in /var/log/syslog 
(as you wrote it your rsyslog conf file)
and vuurmuur look for a /var/log/firewall file (which is empty as nothing is 
stored in it).


Please, be aware of MY problem:
everything (linked to iptables/conntrack events) will be stored in 
/var/log/firewall
HOWEVER, I do have a some android and I-device, I do use chrome as web-browser.
These OS and application are often sending http/https packet WITHOUT the SYN 
flag,
thus vuurmuur marks those connection as "fw INVALID".
your log file will still be a mess to read unless you counter-filter it 
"filter, "fw", unmark corresponding record"

I looked into some iptables rules, conntrack rules, it seems nothing would 
allow outgoing/forwarding packet without this SYN flag.
I am looking to increase the TTL of the SYN flag with conntrack if this is 
possible

Hi, 

I have been trying to stop vuurmuur writing to the syslog as its just flooding 
the logs making them 
impossible to find anything, so started googling and found this 

https://www.vuurmuur.org/trac/wiki/Logging 

First it talks about editing '/etc/syslog.conf' and adding 'kern.=debug 
/var/log/firewall' 

There is no '/etc/syslog.conf' but I do find 'rsyslog.conf' so look in there, 
tells me to look in '/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf' 

Ok the format looks like what I'm looking for so I make these changes 
'*.*;auth,authpriv.none;kern.!debug /var/log/syslog' 


I have also gone into vuurmuurs configuration and changed the system filename 
from '/var/log/syslog' to '/var/log/firewall' 
and changed the loglevel to debug. 

This is where the problems then start, vuumuur no longer displays any output to 
the traffic.log from within vuurmurr_conf 

So can anyone tell me where I might have to start looking to fix this problem? 

Thanks in advance.
