socklog-conf(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   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 ser-
       vice).  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 add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-unix

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 add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-inet

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 add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-klog

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 add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp

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 add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-notify
