Alternatively, you can just have a term SSH'ed to the firewall machine
from your main box and tail the logs from there.

I've got two monitors, but the second one only gets used for installs
or fixing problems when I can't be bothered lugging the larger monitor
over to the broken machine :-)

My room is hot enough with all the machines and one monitor - I'd cook
if I had a second monitor too!
