socklog-conf(8)                                                socklog-conf(8)



NAME
       socklog-conf - sets up a socklog(8) service.

SYNOPSIS
       socklog-conf unix|inet|klog|ucspi-tcp acct logacct
       socklog-conf notify acct grp

DESCRIPTION
       socklog-conf creates /etc/sv if necessary and a subdirectory that runs
       the unix, inet, ucspi-tcp or notify service (see below for each
       service).  Except for the notify service, socklog-conf also creates a
       log directory with subdirectories.

       acct, logacct and grp must not contain any special characters.

UNIX SERVICE
       socklog-conf unix acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument unix, socklog-conf creates
       the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-unix and the log directory
       /var/log/socklog.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of
       acct and to listen for syslog messages on /dev/log.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in
       /var/log/socklog.  The logs are owned by logacct.  The corresponding
       svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-unix /var/service/

INET SERVICE
       socklog-conf inet acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument inet, socklog-conf creates
       the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-inet and the log directory
       /var/log/socklog-inet.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of
       acct and to listen for syslog messages on the UDP socket 0.0.0.0:514.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in
       /var/log/socklog-inet.  The logs are owned by logacct.  The
       corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-inet /var/service/

KLOG SERVICE
       socklog-conf klog acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument klog, socklog-conf creates
       the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-klog and the log directory
       /var/log/socklog-klog.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of
       acct and to read kernel messages from /proc/kmsg on Linux, or
       /dev/socklog-klog on BSD.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in
       /var/log/socklog-klog.  The logs are owned by logacct.  The
       corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-klog /var/service/

UCSPI-TCP SERVICE
       socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument ucspi-tcp, socklog-conf
       creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp and the log
       directory /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp.

       socklog-conf arranges for tcpsvd(1) to run socklog(8) under the uid and
       gid of acct and to listen on the TCP socket 0.0.0.0:10116.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in
       /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp.  The logs are owned by logacct.  The
       corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp /var/service/

NOTIFY SERVICE
       socklog-conf notify acct grp

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument notify, socklog-conf creates
       the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-notify.

       socklog-conf arranges for uncat(1) to run under the uid and gid of acct
       and to listen on the named pipe /var/log/socklog/.notify.  The named
       pipe will have mode 0620, the uid of acct and the gid of grp.

       All uids running a log service that is configured to push log events to
       the socklog-notify service must be member of the group grp.

       You can run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-notify /var/service/
