I am having a problem with ipfw - it stops reporting after two to three weeks of uptime because it reaches its reporting limit. Console tells me

Code:
Jun 20 17:33:08 Peezmoe mach_kernel: ipfw: limit 500 reached on entry 3024
I checked out sysctl to see if I could set things so that there is no limit, but I couldn't find a way. I changed the value to

Code:
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit: 0
from

Code:
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit: 500
I don't know if this will work, as I may have set it to no logging. The 0 was a guess on my part.

Anyone have any ideas if I'm on the right track. Is my only choice to set the value ridiculously high?
