NAME
kmsgsd
- separates iptables messages from all other kernel messages.
SYNOPSIS
kmsgsd
DESCRIPTION
kmsgsd
reads messages from the /var/lib/psad/psadfifo named pipe and prints any firewall
related log messages to the psad data file "/var/log/psad/fwdata".
psad
cannot detect port scans or other suspect traffic without kmsgsd running on
the machine.
kmsgsd
uses the psad.conf configuration file which by default is
located at /etc/psad/psad.conf, but a different path can be specified
on the command line.
OPTIONS
- -c <config-file>
-
Specify path to config file instead of using the default configuration file
/etc/psad/psad.conf.
- -D
-
Dump the configuration values that
kmsgd
derives from /etc/psad/psad.conf (or other override files) on STDERR.
- -h
-
Display usage information and exit.
- -O <config-file>
-
Override config variable values that are normally read from the
/etc/psad/psad.conf file with values from the specified file. Multiple
override config files can be given as a comma separated list.
