This messages are being issued by the log_in_vain="YES"
option in rc.conf. These are connection attempts by somebody
who is trying to break into your system and got stopped before
your IPFW firewall even knows about it.
This is a good thing. Do not change anything.
You can do a whois ip  command to see where those ip address
range is registered to.

Subject: ipfw and getting the interface logged

Hello,

I'm running 4.5-STABLE with ipfw and having trouble with my firewall
rules.  However they are probably my own doing.

Via syslog I see messages of the type:

Feb 21 16:13:56 unicorn /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 44.133.228.2:6000
from 44.133.228.5:2187
Feb 21 16:13:57 unicorn /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 44.133.228.2:6000
from 44.133.228.5:2188

Which I think my rules should allow:

${fwcmd} add pass all from ${inet} to ${inet} via ${iif}

where

# set these to your inside interface network and netmask and ip
iif="ed0"
inet="44.133.228.0/26"
iip="44.133.228.2"

How can I get syslog to log more information such as at least the
interface over which the traffic is arriving?

Thanks and regards,

Simon
