Hello,

I was not too sure who to send this to, so please redirect me if I am in
the wrong place.

I have been setting up a FreeBSD 6 firewall using the handbook,
everything has been fine until you come to logging to syslog, it looks
like FreeBSD 6 has gone back to using local0 instead of security. In
section 26.5.7 it says that FreeBSD 5 and above use security for
logging, so I assumed that FreeBSD also used it. Is there some way to
get this updated?

Here is a link to the page.
