So, then, adding this line in the middle:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent \
--set
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent \
-j LOG --log-level WARN --log-prefix REJECT-SSH --log-ip-options
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent \
--update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 -j DROP

Should allow me to log this also?
