NAME
       ulogd - netfilter/iptables ULOG daemon

SYNOPSIS
       ulogd [options]

DESCRIPTION
       ulogd  connects to the netlink device of the Linux kernel and reads messages from the netfilter that get queued with the iptables ULOG tar-
       get. For this to work you have to compile the ULOG target into your kernel or load the respective module.

       The received messages can be logged into files or into a mySQL or PostgreSQL database.

	      use <filename> as configuration file instead of /etc/ulogd.conf

       -h, --help
	      show usage information

       -V, --version
	      show version information and copyright
