Synopsis: ipfw should not log to console when using the 'log' keyword but does (sort of documented) State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: sheldonh State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 5 09:37:37 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: In fact, every single call to ipfw_report() is dependant on fw_verbose being true, which is true if the code is compiled with IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE defined. Also, the only reporting we do is via the ipfw_report() interface, the behaviour of which is not dependant on the state of fw_verbose. In other words, we seem to do only _one_ kind of logging, and we only do it if IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE is _not_ defined at compile-time. I'm curious to know what makes you say that ipfw logs via syslog and "to the console as well". I realize that the documentation says so, but in your experience of the software, do you find this to be true? One way to find out for sure whether a message is being sent via syslog is to run syslogd -vv (see the manpage for details) having added the following line to /etc/syslog.conf: *.* /var/log/syslog.all Obviously, you need to create the file /var/log/syslog.all before you kill and restart syslogd with the -v -v options.
