[Public, this time -- dhw] Confirmed. Both at home and for my mother's firewall. Correlating the port scans is interesting in and of itself. (We're both using Pac*Bell/PBI, but she's in a community about 30 miles north of my place.) >Good idea! So long as logging is rate-limited, this might be fun. >Does one have to add anything to syslogd.conf to get the log messages from >ipfw to appear in /var/log/messages? I didn't. (My firewall box has no keyboard or monitor attached normally.) But I also sent all syslogging for the firewall "over the wall" to an internal box; were I slightly more paranoid, I'd try dealing with the serial console stuff, but that hasn't appeared to be necessary just yet.
