Have you checked your firewall rules to make sure that denied packets are
logged, and checked to make sure there are no firewall denies in
/var/log/*?

One thing you can do for addt'l logging is add the following line to
/etc/syslog.conf:

*.*				/var/log/syslog

.. and restart syslogd, and then look at the /var/log/syslog file.
