Section 25.5.7 IPMON Logging, of the FreeBSD Handbook, instructs you to add the statement, "security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log" to the /etc/syslog.conf file. etc/syslog.conf already includes a similar statement, "security.* /var/log/security". Wouldn't this result in the same security message posting to two different log files? What am I missing? Thnx, Bob Perry
