ipfilter.log

[Francis Whittington]

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?

                                                    fewjr/Buddy
