iptables logging

[DenverRun]

Hi,

I'm working with a rsyslog version 3 config file and I would like to use the following statement:

kern.=debug /var/log/iptableslog

Is this the correct format for a version 3 rsyslog.config file? I have searched the forum and I did not come across any examples where ".=" is used -- so I have questions if this is correct.

Thanks.

My centOS gateway (running iptables) syslogd.conf looks like this

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log

kern.debug                                              /var/log/iptables.log

dhcpd.*                                                 /var/log/dhcpd.log

Same goes for my FC15 desktop's rsyslogd.conf , minus the iptables line..
Try it like that, and as a general rule, stick to the convention used in the file...
