[ale] /var/log/syslog

[scott mcbrien]

Apparently you've got some iptables LOG rules.  These are the logs
produced by said rules.  They also get logged to the console.  If you
want you can put them in another file by using a kern.* somefile rule
in /etc/syslog.conf or you can adjust your iptables rules to either
not log, or log more exact messages.
