Close to impossible unless you downloaded and used ulogd. By default,
iptables logs to a non-changable syslogd facility, and you can only
choose the priority level. See sysklogd manual pages. So, if you
changed your default /etc/syslog.conf to write 'kernel' log messages
to a different file, you would get not just iptables log messages in
there, but all other kernel log messages of the same priority.
