hi,

I have 3 FreeBSD boxes running ipfw at three different locations.. 2 of
the boxes are 4.5-STABLE and the last is 4.4-STABLE.

Last night, both the 4.5-STABLE boxes started to produce the following
error..

<snip>
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 11:00:00 +0100 (CET)
To: root
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>

newsyslog: malformed at:
/var/log/ipfw                           600  10    *    $W0D2 Z
</snip>


The 4.4-STABLE has the exact same configuration, however with no errors.

The two other boxes have been running, for several months, without any
problems, and no changes have been made recently. And as far as I can
see, the syntax in /etc/newsyslog.conf seems allright to me.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks..
