[Semibug] pf log to syslogd, part 2

Everyone,


I followed the forum thread and got everything set up on my OpenBSD 
firewall.  I do have a question, though.  I cannot figure out how to get 
the messages to log into their own file. Everything goes to messages.  I 
went through the syslog portion of Michaels book but I still couldn't 
get it to work.

Can anyone give me pointers on what I have to change in the syslog.conf 
file to get things to log to /var/log/{*filename of my choice*} ?


Thanks


Mark
