Your script references /usr/libexec/ipfwloggerd, but this program no longer exists. The closest I could find was /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/appfwloggerd, but I'm not sure if it functions exactly the same. Actually, I get logging from ipfw rule actions even without running this program, but the format is different from standard ipfw logs.

Good point, there's no /usr/libexec/ipfwloggerd anymore.... Didn't notice at all since my logging is working as it always has.. I assume that it may now be solely done via syslog because sometimes I get messages in the ipfw.log like "--- last message repeated 9 times ---" ? Any other suggestions?
