            Bug ID: 248560
           Summary: syslog unable to divert ipfw messages to separate
                    logfile
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: martin@waschbuesch.de

According to the man page:
man 5 syslog.conf
it is possible to divert ipfw messages to a separate logfile by adding these
lines to the configuration:

     # Log ipfw messages without syncing after every message.
     !ipfw
     *.*                                                     -/var/log/ipfw

The result: All output of ipfw is logged to /var/log/security, but the above
config lines are without effect.

This used to work on previous versions of FreeBSD, but does no longer seem =
to
be true for 12.1-RELEASE.

I am unsure if functionality has changed and the documentation is now outda=
ted
or if the documentation is correct and this is a bug?
