NAME

rklogd - RSBAC kernel log daemon.

SYNOPSIS

rklogd [ -s ] [ -a ] [ -l ] [ -p ] [ -f fname ] [ -u uid ] [ -n host ]

DESCRIPTION

rklogd is a system daemon which only intercepts and logs RSBAC kernel messages to a separate log file. It is started by root and sets UID to 400.

OPTIONS

-a
Alert (sound) on NOT_GRANTED.
-s
Use kernel syscalls instead "proc" file reading (if proc filesystem don't work).
-p
Use file in /proc for message reading. Program use it way by default.
-f file
Log messages to the specified filename. By default messages go to SECOFF_HOME/security-out file .
-u uid
Change to the specified UID instead of the default 400.
-l
Listen for network connections.Log-server mode. Messages will copy to <log-name>-fromnet file.
-n hostname
Copy messages to log-server on specified host.

OVERVIEW

Standard klogd daemon can't read RSBAC kernel message buffers. This program does and sends the messages to a separate file. You can protect this file using any RSBAC model, e.g. RC, so a possible intruder cannot delete security alert logs.

FILES

/proc/rsbac-info/rmsg
kernel messages buffer.
rklogd
daemon itself.
/var/run/rklogd.pid
The file containing the process id of rklogd

BUGS

May be. Please, send patches, not changed files.
