Unfortunately, ipfw logs to the kernel syslog facility. Why doesn't it log to its own facility? I dunno. In any case, it logs at the critical level, so all you need to do is change your syslog.conf file so that it doesn't log things of critical level or below to the console. The info on how to do that is in the man page for syslog.conf. Good luck, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
