There is a new write up of IPF in the official manual that explains in detail how to get ipmon to log to separate file. You have to give more technical details about what you have done. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of as2sb3100@comcast.net Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 1:50 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ipmon logging According to every website I've read so far ipmon uses local0 as the facility name. However, on my FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 box, it logs to the security facility. The man page (in both 5.2.1 and 5.3) for ipmon, with -s for logging to syslog says, "The default facility when compiled and installed is security". Can anyone explain this? I'd like ipmon to log to a separate file so it doesn't fill up the security log. I've tried having ipmon log directly to a file, and not using syslog, but it stops logging when newsyslog rotates the file. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could or should do?
