In FBSD 4.11 and older, ipfilter logged to local0. Then in 5.4 it was changed to security. Now in 6.0 it has reverted back to logging to local0. The /etc/syslog.conf file is where you define the log files. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Pietro Cerutti Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 7:39 AM To: Elmer Rivera; FreeBSD Subject: Re: ipfilter question On 12/13/05, Elmer Rivera <elmer.rivera@gmail.com> wrote: > hello, Hello, > > my freebsd box is already setup and followed some of the docs on > setting up the firewall using ipfilter. question on logging. > > setup /var/log/ipfilter.log as my log file.
