NAME

       systune - Kernel tuning through the /proc filesystem.

SYNOPSIS

       systune [ -c, --config configfile ] [ -h, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program writes kernel parameters, previously saved in a configuration file, to the /proc filesystem.  This enables kernel performance
       to be adjusted without recompiling the kernel.

OPTIONS

       -c, --config configfile
	      Specify an alternative config file.  The default is /etc/systune.conf

       -h, --help
	      Print a short explanation of syntax to standard output.

       -v, --verbose
	      Verbose mode: cause non-existent paths in the configuration to generate error output to standard error.  Without this option,  erro-
	      neous paths are discarded silently.

CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT

       Each  definition  takes	a single line, in the form path:definition, where path must begin with /proc/sys/.  Paths beginning with any other
       sequence are silently ignored.

       Comments are introduced by the character #.  The whole line from the # character onwards is discarded, together with any whitespace immedi-
       ately preceding it.

       Blank lines are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/systune.conf
	      A file with saved kernel parameters. It is possible to generate this file with the systunedump (8) command.

KMSGSD(8)                                                     System Manager's Manual                                                    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.  Mul-
              tiple override config files can be given as a comma separated list.
