I'm trying to figure out how I can get syslog to log messages from
my ipchains setup to a file other than /var/log/messages. perferably 
something like /var/log/ipchains. I know that if it can be done I need
to edit he /etc/syslog.conf file and add the appropriate information.
However I ma uncertain of what to add and the man page gives me the 
impression it can't be done.

so can this be done and if so how ?
