[SLUG] SysLog - not to messages

I like the iptables loging function for rejected packets.
Currently the log entries are appended to the file
/var/log/messages which are 6 to 10 Mb when lots of
probes are dropped.
How do I direct these logs to another file??
say /var/log/netdrop
Where is this documented? I've read some but it seems
to assume common knowledge about logging.
TIA
Larry :-)
