Kernel Logging disabled?

And start ups:

But when I installed CSF/LFD I am getting nothing. LFD does not create lfd.log and nor are any blocks being logged in /var/log/messages either from the firewall. This is not natural.
I looked for klogd but maybe I am looking in the wrong place for it to see if it is enabled?
ls /etc/init.d/syslog
ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/syslog: No such file or directory
Also noticed no syslog?
Also noticed this:
csf -d 84.113.21.201
Adding 84.113.21.201 to csf.deny and iptables DROP...
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
I've never seen this before and this is a dedicated box.
Also:
