<![CDATA[Firewall Rule ID]]>I am trying to figure out how to identify WHICH rule caused the action logged in the Firewall log.  I noticed that there is a blank "ID" column in the Firewall Rules tables, but I can't figure out how to set the ID nor is there a column for it in the log file.  As I recall, my old BSD firewall based on ipfw and bpf identified the rule number in the log to help determine which rule might be broken.

Sorry if this is a noob question, perhaps my google-fu is not strong.

I think that is new for 2.1.
Others can comment on what is possible in 2.0.n, too long since I really used those versions :)
