--- Comment #2 from Yuri Victorovich <yuri at freebsd.org> ---
In the ipfw(8) manpage, under the section "IPv6/IPv4 NETWORK ADDRESS AND
PROTOCOL TRANSLATION" it says:

>     log     Turn on logging of all handled packets via BPF through ipfwlog0
>             interface.  ipfwlog0 is a pseudo interface and can be created
>             after a boot manually with ifconfig command.  Note that it has
>             different purpose than ipfw0 interface.  Translators sends to BPF
>             an additional information with each packet.  With tcpdump you are
>             able to see each handled packet before and after translation.

Does this mean that the manpage contains a wrong information?
