Default IPFW question

Hi
Am i right in thinking that i don't need to do a custom kernel compile to enable
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE ?
Sorry to post such a simple question. I couldn't determine form the handbook whether this option is enabled in the GENERIC kernel
As far as i understand it you have to put:
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose=1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=5
in /etc/sysctl.conf
Is that correct?
Thank you very much for any replies

Oh sorry about this. Sorry if i've wasted your time. I've just seen in the handbook that i was right. You just have to set the values in /etc/sysctl.conf. Sorry

According to this handbook page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...alls-ipfw.html

Quote:
The loadable module does have logging ability compiled in. To enable logging and set the verbose logging limit, there is a knob that can be set in /etc/sysctl.conf. By adding these statements, logging will be enabled on future reboots:
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose=1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit=5
As I read this, IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE and IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT are the same as the sysctl knobs.
