On my machine, 3.4-STABLE updated on Friday, syslog does not
print warnings when ipfw.none is included in the syslog.conf
file. However, I have email from two individuals that while
it does print warnings on their machines, the entry does
work to prevent ipfw messages from being directed to their
messages file.
