Hi,

This doesn't look like ipfw logging output to me, in fact it seems
indicative of net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain

You may also have more mileage with ipfw if you tried something like this;

ipfw add 500 pass log tcp from any to any setup
ipfw add 600 pass tcp from any to any established

This will log initial connection setups but not ongoing traffic, for
example an ftp session would hose your logs quite a bit.  Additionally the
count feature is always available to you, try ipfw show <rulenum>

Oh and you need to put count/pass rules before an 'allow any to any' type
rule otherwise it won't get caught because the processing has already
finished on the traffic.  May be why you see no logging output currently.

Cheers,
J.
