syslog.conf doesn't solve everything!!!
Authored by: lennyb on Jan 06, '06 06:16:06PM

I don't wanna log in vain for your love. I was practically suicidal trying to stop this constant ipfw logging until I found the secret. Drop these lines in /etc/sysctl.conf for permanant changes after a reboot:

net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain: 1
net.inet.udp.log_in_vain: 1

you can make the constant logging stop RIGHT NOW interactively by typing (as root):

sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain=0
sysctl -w net.inet.udp.log_in_vain=0

open up your Apple Console.app and toggle these two values back and forth to see that I'm correct.
