Yeah, I already figured out how to click on the help button, and I looked at
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages (both files are empty) as well as read the
manual for syslog.  I don't need guarddog to notify me every time there's a
rejected or blocked packet, but I would like to be able to view a text file with
that info.  Even my router keeps a viewable log file of rejected and blocked
packets.  And yes, even though I have a router, some 'bad' packets still seem to
get through.
