This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. The correct answer to
the question is to run the ipfw command with the 'resetlog'
argument, but that is a very confusing way to describe it. Also, we
should probably mention the bumping up of the log limit in the kernel
configuration that is discussed earlier in this article. I agree that
we should add the markup to the ipfw command, but it doesn't do much
good if the sentence doesn't make sense in the first place. How about
this :=20
"You can reset the logging counters with the <command>ipfw
resetlog</command> command. Alternatively, you may increase the log
limit in your kernel configuration file by increasing the
<option>IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT</option> option."
Sound good?
