Hi again Bob,
I read the ipfilter section of the Official manual for 5.3. Where it talks about adding that line to syslog.conf,
(local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log), well it says to put local0.*. It doesn't mention putting security.*, although it did work for me. I looked through the errata section online and didn't see anything about it there either. At the same time I see that in my syslog.conf file there is already a line that uses security.* /var/log/security. Am I using two logs for the same thing?

The answer is very simple. The integration of the open source
ipfilter firewall into FreeBSD has changed between the 4.x releases
and the 5.3 release just made available. If you change the
syslog.conf:

Local0.*           /var/log/ipfilter.log          which is how 4.10
& 4.11  work

To

security.*        /var/log/ipfilter.log        for 5.3 then every
thing will work as documented.

Hi guys,
   I've been following this guide:
http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/fbsd_installguide/index.php
So far I have gotten the firewall/router to work. Everything seems
to be okay, except I do not see anything being logged in
ipfilter.log.
I am using ipf.rules and ipnat.rules. I created ipfilter.log in
/var/log/ and I added this line to syslog.conf:
   Local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log
and I added the following line to newsyslog.conf for rotating the
log.
/var/log/ipfilter.log       600  5      100     $M1D0  J
I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I do not get anything in
my ipfilter.log.

                                                      Thanks
                                                     fewjr/Buddy
