Hi, I'm using "ipfw zero NNN" to periodically zero many counters, each
of which results in a syslog message generated despite the -q flag:
Dec 26 13:00:01 foo kernel: ipfw: Entry 1001 cleared.
Dec 26 13:00:01 foo kernel: ipfw: Entry 1002 cleared.
...
and so on. After looking in ipfw's sources in /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw2.c
I now think that quite probably the messages are generated by some
setsockopt call or by the kernel itself. I _could_ work around the issue
by piping the "ipfw:" messages to /dev/null in syslogd, but there might
be a cleaner solution?
Thank you.
