NAME

       fiaif-scan - print syslog entries in human readable form

SYNOPSIS

       fiaif-scan [ -n ] [ -m ]

DESCRIPTION

       fiaif-scan  reads  lines  from  STDIN  and prints to STDOUT, in human readable form, any packets found (standard syslog format is assumed).
       Each log message is parsed based on the configuration files at the time fiaf-scan is run.  The idea is to enable the user to quickly  iden-
       tify which zone rule is causing the packet to be logged, and how to change this, if necessary.

OPTIONS

       -n     Don't  do a reverse lookup of IP addresses or ports; display them as numbers.  This reduces the number of host lookups and speeds up
	      scanning.

       -m     print the MAC address on each line.

EXAMPLE

       fiaf-scan -n </var/log/messages
	      Scan from the current system log and display any packets on the console.	Don't look up names for IP addressses or ports; just  show
	      the numbers.

FILES

       /etc/fiaif/fiaif.conf

BUGS

       The program has been tested only with messages from the standard syslog. It may work on lines from ulogd, but this has not been tested.

       Bash  may  not  be  the	fastest  parser  in  the  world. Expect this software to be slow. (40 lines per sec on a K6-II/300Mhz without name
       lookups).

       Please report other bugs to <fiaif@fiaif.net>.
