KMSGSD(8)
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.
