These are system logs rather than Apache logs, so the above isn't relevant. (Interesting though.)

I quite like the idea of storing the firewall logs in an SQL database - its the kind of thing one would like for an IDS (intrusion detection system). It would be relatively easy to adapt the above program to do that.

I expect that is overkill for my use which is to see which lamers have been hammering on my cable modem connection and the company servers ;-)
