If the kernel was compiled with the IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT option, then logging will cease after the number of packets specified by the option are received for that particular chain entry. Logging may then be re-enabled by clearing the packet counter for that entry. Console logging and the log limit are adjustable dynamically through the sysctl(8) interface. ----- The logs are written to the console and (I think) also generate LOG_KERN facility messages in syslog. That part could be cleared up (after someone confirms that I'm right I guess), but the rest seems reasonably clear. Was there something that you specifically wanted added to the documentation?
