NAME

       IptablesDlfConverter - convert netfilter/iptables syslog logs to firewall DLF

DESCRIPTION

       IptablesDlfConverter converts Linux 2.4 iptables packet log into firewall DLF format.

LIMITATIONS

       The netfilter logging modules don't log the status of the packet (drop, accept, reject) like the ipchains logging code. You can specify a
       prefix that will be used in the log. This converter will mark the packet as 'denied' whenever that prefix matches (case insensitive) the
       following regex: 'denied|deny|drop|reject|unallowed', it will mark the packet as 'permitted' whenever that prefix matches (case
       insensitive) the following regex: 'accept|permit', and all other packets will have '-' as the value of the 'action' field.

       So in order for this converter to detect 'denied' packets, you should use a prefix containing one of those substrings.

       For example:

	iptables -N lodrop
	iptables -A logdrop -j LOG --log-prefix "Packet-DENY: "
	iptables -A logdrop -j DROP

       or other similar prefixes: 'denied: ', 'Packet-REJECT: ', ...

       The prefix used will end up in the 'rule' field of the DLF record.

EXAMPLES

       IptablesDlfConvertor will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report:

	$ lr_log2report iptables < /var/log/iptables.log > report

NAME

       lr_check_service - check existence of Lire service

SYNOPSIS

       lr_check_service service

       lr_check_service -l

DESCRIPTION

       lr_check_service checks if service service is supported in Lire, i.e. if there is a DLF converter registered under that name.

       When called with the -l (for `list') option, lr_check_service lists all registered DLF converters.

       Like all Lire scripts, you might want to call this script via lr_run(1), to deal sanely with this scripts' debug- and logging output.

       You might prefer the lr_log2report(1) --help options to list available services: this command creates a more human-friendly format of the
       list.

EXAMPLE

       Call this script in shell scripts as

	LR_SERVICE="$1"

	LR_SERVICE=`lr_check_service "$LR_SERVICE" || true`
	if test -z "$LR_SERVICE"
	then
	   echo >&2 "$tag err lr_check_service failed"
	   exit 1
	fi

	# now go using $LR_SERVICE

       .
