pflogd log

[Zbigniew Szalbot]

Hello,

I noticed that pflog is not being written to.

$ l /var/log/pflog
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  60 Jan 22 00:00 /var/log/pflog

However, the process running pflogd runs as _pflogd. Does this mean I
should chown the log file with user _pflogd?

_pflogd    248  0.0  0.2  1632  1056  ??  S     6:49AM   0:01.31
pflogd: [suspended] -s 116 -f /var/log/pflog (pflogd)

To complete the picture:

$ ps aux |grep pf
root        36  0.0  0.0     0     8  ??  DL    6:49AM   0:01.04 [softdepflush]
root       246  0.0  0.2  1568  1004  ??  Is    6:49AM   0:00.01
pflogd: [priv] (pflogd)
_pflogd    248  0.0  0.2  1632  1056  ??  S     6:49AM   0:01.32
pflogd: [suspended] -s 116 -f /var/log/pflog (pflogd)

Many thanks for your advice!
