iptables has extensive logging capabilities. man iptables for examples or search google. There are literally hundreds of examples and resources out there.

... but you may need to include the iptables LOG directive into your kernel.
That bites me every time I build a clean kernel. One of the iptables
firewall HOWTOs says to use this:
| Code: |
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG -m limit --limit 30/minute --log-prefix "Dropping: "
