RKLOGD(8)

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

BUGS
May be. Please, send patches, not changed files.
