[syslog-ng]iptables & syslog-ng

Hello,

I just set up an iptables based firewall on my syslog-ng host machine
(redhat 7.1), but ran into a small problem.  When I run syslogd+klogd, I can
see iptables generating the logfiles.  When I disable the standard syslog
daemon, and run syslog-ng+klogd, I do not see the data I am looking for, it
is almost like iptables isn't logging at all, but it has to, since it works
with the normal syslogd.  I setup a generic rule, and a fallback, so
everything should work.  When using the "logger" tool, and generating a fake
entry, everything seems ok, so I assume this is an issue between kernel
logging and syslog-ng.  I am running 1.5.9 (not the official release).  Any
help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Best regards,

Daniel
