ipfw doesn't talk about this sysctl. Could you point me to something which 
explains it better?

Ok, so for whatever reason my packets aren't being logged because my rules 
don't matched correctly.  I guess there's no way to get more information 
out from the log_in_vain sysctl as it might help me diagnose my problem?

Thanks for this I guess I've got to go through looking at my current rules
and verifying what I'm doing wrong.
