The error message is telling you the truth: /var/log/firewall > is*not* a valid argument to --log-prefix. It is a valid argument. /var/log/firewall is simply used as the text string prefix in log messages. But order does matter: # iptables -I INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix /var/log/firewall # iptables sees the "LOG" and knows it must used the LOG extension module. The example above is equal. Hence I thought the error must be somewhere else. # iptables -I INPUT --log-prefix /var/log/firewall -j LOG iptables v1.2.5: Unknown arg --log-prefix' Try iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. # > the --log-prefix switch is > there so you can add some text to the packet header to help you > identify various packets.
