Iptables not logging to Syslog


Hi.
Im stuck on why iptables wont log to syslog.
Syslog is working fine and log every other event on the server.

Here is my Configs:

/etc/syslog.conf
Code:
*.*             /var/log/iptables
/bin/firewall
Code:
#!/bin/bash

###### INTERNET
inet_if=eth0
inet_dhcp=1
inet_ip=
inet_netmask=

###### LAN
lan_if=eth1
lan_ip=192.168.0.1
lan_netmask=255.255.255.0
lan_dhcp_net=192.168.0.0
lan_dhcp_start=192.168.0.10
lan_dhcp_stop=192.168.0.99

htpc_ip=192.168.0.2
danielpc_ip=192.168.0.3


###### NEEDED BY THE FIREWALL
ifconfig $lan_if $lan_ip netmask $lan_netmask
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F

iptables -I INPUT 1 -i eth0 -j LOG
iptables -I FORWARD 1 -i eth0 -j LOG

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

### Internet --> LAN (Portforwarding)
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $inet_if -p tcp --dport 24178 -j DNAT --to-destination $htpc_ip        # uTorrent


### Internet --> LAN (Accesslist)
iptables -A FORWARD -i $inet_if -p tcp --dport 24178 -j ACCEPT


# Internet -> Firewall

iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT           # FTP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT           # SSH
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set -j LOG
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 600 --hitcount 3 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT           # HTTP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT          # HTTPS
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 514 -j ACCEPT

####### Needed by the FIREWALL
iptables -A INPUT -i $inet_if -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT    # Accept INTERNET(related) -> FIREWALL
iptables -A INPUT -i $lan_if -j ACCEPT                                          # Accept LAN -> FIREWALL
iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT           # Accept FIREWALL(new,related) -> INTERNET
iptables -A FORWARD -i $inet_if -m state --state RELATE,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT   # Accept INTERNET(related) -> LAN
iptables -A FORWARD -i $lan_if -j ACCEPT                                        # Accept LAN -> INTERNET

I found the solution.

Had to:
Code:
killall -9 klogd
klogd -s
To make it log to syslog :-)
