I need help on iptables logging

How do you log to a user defined file when using iptables to log events.

I am currently logging events onto /var/logs/messages
using
Code:
blah blah...LOG log-prefix "blah blah: "

but i want to log to /var/logs/firewall_logs

any ideas??

What you need to do is check out your /etc/syslog.conf.
