Hi,
I am new to this OS.
I have a fresh installation of Linux Lite v2.0. The logging function in /var/log/syslog is not working--in fact, most of the logs show 0 bytes, despite me getting acquainted with the OS all day long.
I use iptables and depend on syslog to monitor network activity. Is there some configuration I must apply to enable logging?
Also, my iptables configuration is not being restored at boot-up from /etc/iptables.rules. I am following the same steps that always work on Ubuntu--placing the restore command as a pre-up instruction in /etc/network/interfaces. It would be nice if I didn't have to retype the iptables rules after each login! Does anyone know where I should put this command?
Thanks in advance.
