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.

How/where did you set this up?

How did you modified this?

Yes, it is possible.

Here's my setup:

/etc/rc.conf
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipmon_flags="-Dns"

/etc/syslog.conf
security.*          /var/log/ipfilter.log


Make sure you don't have any other security.* facility specified in
/etc/syslog.conf
