 As you write above, /dev/klog is special file. /dev/klog is using for 
kernel logging. I knew this.
 I tried to use file("/dev/klog") of source driver, but as result I
saw console error messages "Can't open file.device is busy."

 Can't "file" of source driver use special file as "/dev/klog" ?
 To send and receive kernel message of ipfw in syslog-ng, how do 
I write configuration file of FreeBSD, or how do I configure
syslog-ng.conf,or how do I use other tool with combination?

 I'm sorry my childish English. Thanks you that read my letter.
