Thanks Unspawn,
As is obvious, I have no clue what is the right way to continue, so I come here for help. My iptables are logging at level WARNING, and since I run ssh, I regularly have hits on at least those lines, defending me against script kiddies.
I only noticed this behaviour after installing syslog-ng, and after soms troubleshooting, I tried reinstalling klogd and sysklogd to see if the behavior was due to syslog-ng or not.
I thought klogd was responsible for populating kern.log, but syslog-ng insists on removing it. So this seemed like an obvious cause.
Code:
sudo apt-get install syslog-ng
[sudo] password for rfonteyn:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
klogd sysklogd ubuntu-minimal
The following NEW packages will be installed:
syslog-ng
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 3 to remove and 121 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/130kB of archives.
After this operation, 16.4kB of additional disk space will be used.
My syslog-ng config is still default to when I installed it.
Code:
rfonteyn@gateway:~$ more /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
