iptables with logging

Hi,
I'd like to ask about the LOG function in iptables.

I've configured my syslog.conf with an entry:
*.info /root/log
#log all info level messages

and iptables setting:

iptables -N ALLOW_ICMP
iptables -F ALLOW_ICMP
iptables -A ALLOW_ICMP -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT
iptables -A ALLOW_ICMP -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
iptables -A ALLOW_ICMP -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j LOG --log-level 6 --log-prefix "PING: "

But after ping both eth0 and eth1 cards of the machine, I still got nothing logged. Any possible results???

Thanks a lot!!!

Best Regards,
Brian

I've never used iptables before (I mostly use ipfilter) so I have no idea. Someone like TW2001 might be able to help you out with this.

This may seem like a stupid question.Do you have the Logging variable uncommented and set to 1 in your configurable parameters?
