Can anyone tell me how to get ipfw to actually log anything?

I've read that the Mac OS X kernel has been compiled with options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE to support logging, but I can't get anything at all logged from ipfw.

Clearly I'm missing something obvious...

Caveat: I'm guessing here and could be off-base...

Perhaps you haven't configured syslog to tell it where to put the records generated by ipfw? You probably need a /etc/syslog.conf line something like:

ipfw.* /var/log/firewall.log

You'll need to HUP syslogd for such a change to take effect.
