The following reply was made to PR kern/62598; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "JJB" <Barbish3@adelphia.net> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>, "JJB" <Barbish3@adelphia.net> Cc: Subject: Re: kern/62598: no logging on ipfw loadable module Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 21:37:09 -0500 Shortly after this PR was submitted, it was determined that the problem report was based on this message ["IP packet filtering initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny, logging disabled"] which is issued by the load of the ipfw loadable module when not compiled into the kernel. Upon ignoring intended meaning of said message, testing verified ipfw loadable module, does include logging code which only needs rc.conf statements to activate and enable. Conclusion: Message issued when ipfw loadable module is enabled is worded inaccurately. Message should be reworded to more clearly state status. Message that states that options are disabled imply those options where not compiled into the ipfw loadable module, which testing has proven to not be true.
