I read the ipfilter section of the Official manual for 5.3. Where it talks about adding that line to syslog.conf,
(local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log), well it says to put local0.*. It doesn't mention putting security.*, although it did work for me. I looked through the errata section online and didn't see anything about it there either. At the same time I see that in my syslog.conf file there is already a line that uses security.* /var/log/security. Am I using two logs for the same thing?

The answer is very simple. The integration of the open source ipfilter firewall into FreeBSD has changed between the 4.x releases and the 5.3 release just made available. If you change the syslog.conf:
Local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log which is how 4.10 & 4.11 work
To
security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log for 5.3 then every thing will work as documented.

Hi guys, I've been following this guide: http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/fbsd_installguide/index.php So far I have gotten the firewall/router to work. Everything seems to be okay, except I do not see anything being logged in ipfilter.log. I am using ipf.rules and ipnat.rules. I created ipfilter.log in /var/log/ and I added this line to syslog.conf: Local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log and I added the following line to newsyslog.conf for rotating the log. /var/log/ipfilter.log 600 5 100 $M1D0 J I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I do not get anything in my ipfilter.log.
