NAME
rklogd - RSBAC kernel log daemon.
SYNOPSIS
rklogd [ -s ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ -p ] [ -f fname ] [ -u uid ] [ -n host ]
DESCRIPTION
rklogd is a system daemon which only intercepts and logs RSBAC kernel
messages to a separate log file. It is started by root and sets UID to
400.
OPTIONS
-a Alert (sound) on NOT_GRANTED.
- -s Use kernel syscalls instead "proc" file reading (if proc
- filesystem don't work).
- -p Use file in /proc for message reading. Program use it way by
- default.
- -f file
- Log messages to the specified filename. By default messages go to SECOFF_HOME/security-out file .
- -u uid Change to the specified UID instead of the default 400.
- -l Listen for network connections.Log-server mode. Messages will
- copy to <log-name>-fromnet file.
- -n hostname
- Copy messages to log-server on specified host.
OVERVIEW
Standard klogd daemon can't read RSBAC kernel message buffers. This
program does and sends the messages to a separate file. You can protect this file using any RSBAC model, e.g. RC, so a possible intruder
cannot delete security alert logs.
FILES
- /proc/rsbac-info/rmsg
- kernel messages buffer.
- rklogd daemon itself.
/var/run/rklogd.pid - The file containing the process id of rklogd
