Hello,

   How can I add firewall log messages to syslogd, I have
added the following lines to the syslog.conf:

# router
+router
*.*                     /var/log/router.log

   Also, syslogd is running with the flag -a with the ip
address of the firewall -- the mask, and service.

   The computer receive the packets to the 514 port --
I've used tcpdump to log the packets -- but the messages
are not logged into the router.log file.


Try the following in your /etc/syslog.conf file, assuming you're using ipfw as your firewall:

#ipfw logging
!ipfw
*.*        /var/log/router.log

Now, perform the following command, assuming your running FreeBSD 5.x+:

# touch /var/log/router.log && chmod 0600 /var/log/router.log && /etc/ rc.d/syslogd restart

Let me know what happens....
