This is on FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT ia64. I've ipfilter built into the kernel, with logging enabled: options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK options IPFILTER_LOG It works fine, but logs to a wrong file. I run ipmon with -Ds options: # ps ax|grep ipmon 740 ?? Ss 1:28.09 /sbin/ipmon -Ds # "D" is for deamon mode, and "s" is to log via syslog. According to ipmon(8): The default facility when compiled and installed is security. So I've in /etc/syslog.conf: security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log but I get all ipmon messages in /var/log/messages. According to my /etc/syslog.conf this file shouldn't have ipmon messages: *.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages What am I doing wrong?
