Hi all, one customer started to make more use of IPFW inside their vnet jails in our hosting environment. When they - create a firewall rule with "log" set, like: ipfw add 65532 allow log ip from me to any out - set: sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.verbose=1 all *inside* a jail, the firewall rules work as expected, yet the log entries end up in /var/log/security on the host. All the time net.inet.ip.fw.verbose on the host is set to 0. Is this intentional? Or fundamental, because there is only a shared host kernel with jails? Or is it a bug? I checked multiple times, the sysctl variables can be set for each jail and the host independently just like each can have its own set of firewall rules.
