iptables is not logging [message #35117]

Hi all,

I hope this forum is the correct place to ask my question.

I have a VPS running Ubuntu 8.04. In a script there are the following lines:

iptables -D INPUT -s $net -j LOG --log-prefix "BLACKLIST: "
iptables -D INPUT -s $net -j DROP

$net stands for 192.168.100.0/24 for example. I know that the DROP action is working. But the LOG action does not go to any of the log files.

Does somebody know what the problem is causing?

Thank you,
Timo

Thanks to other posts in this forum I found out that klogd was not running inside the VPS.

I was not able to get klogd working inside the VPS. "/etc/init.d/klogd start" timed out with "failed" after some minutes. I did not investigate the problem. Instead I uninstalled klogd and sysklogd packages and installed syslog-ng instead.

Without any additional work iptables log entries go to kern.log. Problem solved.
