I am running FreeBSD 4.9R -- do I simply point my firewall to the IP of my server and the logs will automagically appear in /var/log? The Fortigate is asking for the IP, port, and if I want to store as CSV (I know; personal preference; not important). Sadly, I have never done this before, so please be gentle. :) Thank you, ...D
