Tomas,

Funny you should ask that, I was just about to send a message to the
group asking that very question. But, before asking I thought I would
just look at the man page for iptables.

Iptables has standard builtin target modules, one of which is LOG.
I was not sure how to tell webmin to use this target so I just tried
creating a new rule and selecting "Run Chain" and specify LOG as the
name of the chain to run. That works and I get all the logged packets
in /var/log/messages (on RedHat 7.3 system). At the moment, my "log"
rule is the last in the target table but I cant see any reason why
you should not be able to log any packet.

I would love to be able to control the "log level" and other logging
parameters but I think that would require a change to webmin.

Regards !
