Hello,

ipfw has a nice feature of logging limit to avoid flooding the logs;
However, one needs to reset them regurlarly, and this outputs annoying
logging messages while often the reset wouldn't have been needed... 

To solve this, a while back I did a simple patch to the 4.2 ipfw(8)
command to be able to report the number of the last packet that will be
logged on a rule which has logging enabled, before the logging limit is
reached. This allows to resetlogs only when one rule has reached (or is
close to reach) its limit. 

Maybe this could be a feature to add to the stock ipfw command ?

Gaël.
