 # LOG FORMAT
 #
-# Shell 'printf' Formatting template for the --log-prefix value in log messages
-# generated by Shorewall to identify Shorewall log messages. The supplied
-# template is expected to accept either two or three arguments; the first is
-# the chain name, the second (optional) is the logging rule number within that
-# chain and the third is the ACTION specifying the disposition of the packet
-# being logged. You must use the %d formatting type for the rule number; if
-# your template does not contain %d then the rule number will not be included.
+# Should match the corresponding value in the shorewall.conf file used to
+# compile the firewall
 #
 # If you want to integrate Shorewall with fireparse, then set LOGFORMAT as:
 #
-#	LOGFORMAT="fp=%s:%d a=%s "
+#	LOGFORMAT="fp="
 #
 # If not specified or specified as empty (LOGFORMAT="") then the value
-# "Shorewall:%s:%s:" is assumed.
+# "Shorewall:" is assumed.
 #
-# CAUTION: /sbin/shorewall-lite uses the leading part of the LOGFORMAT string (up
-# to but not including the first '%') to find log messages in the 'show log',
-# 'status' and 'hits' commands. This part should not be omitted (the
-# LOGFORMAT should not begin with "%") and the leading part should be
-# sufficiently unique for /sbin/shorewall to identify Shorewall messages.
+# /sbin/shorewall-lite uses the leading part of the LOGFORMAT string
