Hello, I'm also atempting to get ipmon to log properly to a file /var/log/ipf.log. My thanks for the recent traffic on this subject, unfortunately it has not worked in my case. My system is a 5.2.1 box, it does not run ipnat just ipfilter and ipmon. I've got: options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_LOG options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK compiled in to my kernel. And in rc.conf: ipfilter_enable="YES" ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" ipfilter_flags="" (Note, i thought this one was suppose to resolve a problem of a duplicate ipfilter startup message, about already being initialized?) ipmon_enable="YES" ipmon_flags="-D /var/log/ipf.log" In the /etc/rc.d/ipfilter script i added ipmon to the end of the require: line and in the ipmon script i added ipfilter. On boot i get a message that says enabling ipfilter, default = block all, logging = enabled. A little later i get the message: Enabling ipfilter ioctl(SIOCIPFL6):Invalid argument and it does not work. Suggestions welcome, also when i get this working i'd like for newsyslog to rotate this log file, but the last time i tried this newsyslog rotated the file yet kept the original pointer open and kept logging to the old file. Thanks. Dave.
