Bug 4967

Description of problem:
I run custom iptables scripts on my boxes with log certain packets to a log file. My script works as expected on Mageia 1. The same script on the same hardware fails to log using Cauldron/Beta 1.

How reproducible:
Insert any iptables rule using the -j LOG target

Details:
I've been working on this one for weeks assuming it was just a configuration error due to my unfamiliarity with Mageia, but I just can't figure it out. Here's some of what I've done so far.

1. Installed mga1 on the same box using the same iptables configuration script. It works as expected.

2. Re-install Beta 1 on the same box and run the same script. No logging.

3. Run lsmod on the Beta 1 box and compare the results to a Mga1 box with functioning firewall logging. The same modules are loaded.

4. Did a search on every file in /var/log/* to see if the results were being logged to a different file. No logs found.

5. I changed the default security level from secure to standard with no effect.

6. At one point I noticed that the iptables service was active and the the ULOG module was active. I disabled the iptables service and rebooted. The ULOG module was gone, but logging still didn't work.

It seems unlikely that I found a bug in iptables, but I don't know what else to try.
