RE: [FW1] Log Question
Title: RE: [FW1] Log Question
Layne, keep in my mind that using the accounting logging feature can take small performance hit, in addition to taking a slightly larger amount of memory for each connection.

Thanks to those who answered my question. I realized late yesterday/early this
morning that if I had either RTFM or looked over my notes from FW-1 class I would
have seen that I had not set up my Log to track any of the rules by Accounting.
Now that I have turned on Accounting, my fw.alog file is now growing.
Thank you,
