[Lxc-users] Debugging a containers firewall.. (syslog)

[Gordon Henderson]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with some iptables inside a container - no real issues 
there, it just works, but I'm a little confused by the logging messages..

I'm running rsyslogd and the firewall log messages are going where they'd 
normally go (ie. I've not changed any settings there), so normally I see 
them in the output of dmesg and they're stored in /var/log/kern.log (this 
is Debian and the rsyslogd.conf file has:

   kern.*                          -/var/log/kern.log

However the file kern.log seems to be missing a lot of entires that are 
appearing in the output of dmesg.

I don't currently have kernel timestamps turned on, so I can't properly 
correlate dmesg output with the log-files, but I'm just wondering if there 
is anything significant here - anything obvious I'm missing?

Cheers,

Gordon
