Enable ipfw logging in Lion

Hello,


how can I enable ipfw logging in OS X 10.7.


I have a rule

00400 allow log ip from any to any dst-port 80


# sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.verbose

net.inet.ip.fw.verbose: 2


I did not change /etc/syslog.conf in any way


I would expect to gett log entries in /var/log/ipfw.log or even in /var/log/system.log but there are none.


What do I have to do to set up ipfw logging in Lion?


Best regards from Germany

Thank you for your comment.


I have a line in /etc/syslog.conf:

local1.* /var/log/ipfw.log


Thats why I thought logging should go there.


I also checke kernel.log but no logging entries there either.


I have also read the link you directed me to.

I dont have the line jnoir mentioned in my asl.conf file and I dont understand how the asl.conf works.

'man asl.conf' didn't realy help

I dont want to screw things up but I think maybe this might be the right place to get my issue fixed.


Any explanation would be appreciated.
