I wrote the official handbook firewall section based on 4.10 release before ipfilter was incorporated into the base of 5.3. You are incorrect to think that what you read in the official handbook is for 5.3 only. I have submitted a change to the handbook to correct it saying that 5.3 uses security.* ipfw also uses security.* that way there are no changes necessary to syslog.conf no mater which firewall you use.

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? fewjr/Buddy ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Francis Whittington" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 11:29 PM Subject: RE: ipfilter.log > The answer is very simple.
