DoS attack? Does your f/w keep a syslog?

Denial of Service attack - whereby the server is hammered by the "ping of death" and the like! Or maybe it was a SYN attack? Or Teardrop? Smurf ... ?

A syslog (system log) is normally a report of syslog (a protocol) messages sent by a network element to a syslog server - tells you what has been going on in the element ..... I don't know much about f/w's (firewalls) though so not sure if a f/w sends syslog messages ..... ask jeffw; he's a f/w dude.
