Have ipfw running fine on 4.2-Release, it logs beautifully to the console
the packets that I would expect to see logged. However, I must be missing
something obvious as it refuses to log to a file. Here's the appropriate
lines that I've added to:

/etc/rc.conf
firewall_logging_enable="YES"

/etc/syslog.conf
!ipfw
*.*						/var/log/ipfwlog

I added those 2 lines at the bottom of syslog.conf and I used TABs, not
spaces. 

I then "touch"ed /var/log/ipfwlog, and have left the default permissions
on for the moment:

ls -l /var/log/ipfwlog
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Apr 13 12:58 /var/log/ipfwlog

Am I missing a typo or something, or have I forgotten to add another line
someplace? I've "hup"ped syslogd umpteen times, not to mention re-booting
several times.

TIA,

Dru
