I'm converting an ipfw-based firewall to pf. The firewall runs on a soekris where there's little space. I currently redirect ipfw log msgs via syslog to another machine. Is there a similar way to do this with pf? I'm not keen on accumulating stuff to the memory disk and flushing it periodically because that leaves me open to losing stuff and also requires I run cron or something similar on the firewall. In lieu of something intelligent I tried using logger and tcpdump with something like: tcpdump -i pflog0 -n -e -ttt | logger -p local7.info -h sysloghost but that didn't work for some reason. Regardless it'd be nice to have something less klunky and with less overhead. Sam
