I'm having a problem getting ipfirewall to log via syslogd.

I compiled the kernel with the three following options:

options IPFIREWALL
options	IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10

I have a firewall rule that looks like this:

deny tcp log from any to any setup

Which deny's all the TCP connections not explicitly allowed.  I hoped
to be able to see if anyone is "rattling the doorknobs", but nothing
gets logged to either /var/log/messages or /var/log/security if I try
and connect to a blocked port.

Does anyone have any ideas why "log" isn't getting logged via syslog?

TIA,
Tony Wells
