    Another possible is something as simple as scripting some grep
    passes. Using Netfilter's --log-prefix switch allows you to ID log entries
    any way you want. This can provide a great level of detail. For example I
    prefix banned IP's as "BADGUY", Null scans as "NULLSCAN", SSH scans as
    "SSH_SCAN",  etc. etc. etc. In fact, Bill Stearns is working on a module
    that will tag log entries with the sender's OS (based on p0f).
    
    Netfilter's logging is pretty advanced. You really have to stop and think
    to realize the full possibilities.
    
    HTH,
