Minor nit - I think you meant to write "stupid" not "outdated." As far back as I can remember (and that's a long way!) some of us have been saying that permit log entries are more important than deny. In fact, the first codebase of my first firewall didn't even bother logging denys because, at the time I felt that a deny log message only meant "the firewall is working." mjr.
