For some reason a few connection attempts are showing up on the console rather than going to the log file. I can't seem to figure out why. Any ideas? I have tried adding the 'log' key word to every deny statement in my IPFW firewall config file. For the most part all denied packets are logged to /var/log/ipfw.log. But about 3-12 per night are not. These also show up in the security run output email as kernel log messages.
