NAME
     logd - logging server for Archiveopteryx.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/sbin/logd [-f] [-c configfile]

DESCRIPTION
     The  Archiveopteryx  logd is an internal server which receives, buffers and
     filters log entries from other parts of Archiveopteryx, so that useful mes-
     sages are logged, while noise is suppressed.

     Archiveopteryx's log system uses four log levels: Disaster, Error, Info and
     Debug.  Each program in Archiveopteryx sends  its	log  messages  to  logd,
     which writes them to a logfile.

     If  a message is logged with severity log-level (set to Info by default) or
     greater, it is immediately written to the log file. All messages  of  lower
     severity are discarded.

     If logd receives the SIGHUP signal, it closes and reopens its logfile.

     After startup, logd changes root to the directory where logfile is located,
     and  changes uid and gid to jail-user and jail-group.  Therefore, jail-user
     must have the right to open logfile.

OPTIONS
     -c filename
	    Read configuration variables from filename instead of from	/usr/lo-
	    cal/etc/archiveopteryx/archiveopteryx.conf.

     -f     Fork into background during startup.

CONFIGURATION
     logd is configured using archiveopteryx.conf(5).

     logd  uses  the  following  configuration variables: log-address, log-port,
     logfile (default syslog/mail), log-level (default info), jail-user (default
     aox), jail-group (default aox).

DIAGNOSTICS
     In case of error, smtpd exits with exit code 1, an error message on  stderr
     and (usually more detailed) information in the log file.

FILES
     /usr/local/etc/archiveopteryx/archiveopteryx.conf
     /usr/local/sbin/logd
