Hi again Bob,
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?
