ipmon logging

[bob at a1poweruser.com]

There is a new write up of IPF in the official manual that explains
in detail how to get ipmon to log to separate file.

You have to give more technical details about what you have done.

Subject: ipmon logging

According to every website I've read so far ipmon uses local0 as the
facility name.  However, on my FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 box, it logs
to the security facility.  The man page (in both 5.2.1 and 5.3) for
ipmon, with -s for logging to syslog says, "The default facility
when compiled and installed is security".  Can anyone explain this?
I'd like ipmon to log to a separate file so it doesn't fill up the
security log.  I've tried having ipmon log directly to a file, and
not using syslog, but it stops logging when newsyslog rotates the
file.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could or should
do?

Eric
