KLogWatch is a small KDE application which "tails" a kernel log file and interprets any Netfilter (ie. iptables) log lines it sees, optionally popping up a window to alert you that your firewall has just blocked a packet. See the man page for more detail.

It's been tested with KDE 3.1.1 and Qt 3.1.1 (SuSE 8.2), as well as more recent Fedora/Mandrake/Debian distributions. There is also a pure Qt build available from version 1.8.1.

KLogWatch is released under the GPL, so feel free...

What's New in This Release:
Be sure to save config when a session closes
Add ping command
Actually use dest IP address when doing traceroute on dest IP
Allow use of $(DESTDIR) during installation. Thanks to Tiziano Mueller for the initial patch.
