An afterthought... In article <375F68784081D511908A00508BE3BB17DDDC62_phsexch22.mgh.harvard.edu@ns.sol.net>, REMORSE@PARTNERS.ORG writes: > Hi!

More specifically, I have a script that runs through the syslog file that 'ipmon' writes to, and adds entries found to the ipfilter rules, based on certain criteria. It maintains its own logfile. This script runs independantly of anything the FreeBSD distribution allows for or supports, but I wanted to see the result every morning. So I added a little "code" to /etc/security that reports the daily additions of that logfile. Perhaps this might be a more elegant solution for your situation?
