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.
