socklog-conf(8)		    System Manager's Manual	       socklog-conf(8)

NAME
       socklog-conf - sets up a	socklog(8) service.

SYNOPSIS
       socklog-conf unix|inet|klog|ucspi-tcp acct logacct
       socklog-conf notify acct	grp

DESCRIPTION
       socklog-conf  creates /etc/sv if	necessary and a	subdirectory that runs
       the unix, inet, ucspi-tcp or notify service (see	below  for  each  ser-
       vice).	Except for the notify service, socklog-conf also creates a log
       directory with subdirectories.

       acct, logacct and grp must not contain any special characters.

UNIX SERVICE
       socklog-conf unix acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument unix,	 socklog-conf  creates
       the  service  directory	/etc/sv/socklog-unix  and  the	log  directory
       /var/log/socklog.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid  and  gid  of
       acct and	to listen for syslog messages on /dev/log.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in	/var/log/sock-
       log.   The  logs	 are  owned  by	 logacct.  The corresponding svlogd(8)
       process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a	symbolic  link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-unix /var/service/

INET SERVICE
       socklog-conf inet acct logacct

       Running	socklog-conf  with the 1st argument inet, socklog-conf creates
       the  service  directory	/etc/sv/socklog-inet  and  the	log  directory
       /var/log/socklog-inet.

       socklog-conf  arranges  for  socklog(8) to run under the	uid and	gid of
       acct and	to listen for syslog messages on the UDP socket	0.0.0.0:514.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in	/var/log/sock-
       log-inet.  The logs are owned by	logacct.  The corresponding  svlogd(8)
       process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You  can	 run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-inet /var/service/

KLOG SERVICE
       socklog-conf klog acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument klog,	 socklog-conf  creates
       the  service  directory	/etc/sv/socklog-klog  and  the	log  directory
       /var/log/socklog-klog.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid  and  gid  of
       acct  and  to  read  kernel  messages  from  /proc/kmsg	on  Linux,  or
       /dev/socklog-klog on BSD.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in	/var/log/sock-
       log-klog.  The logs are owned by	logacct.  The corresponding  svlogd(8)
       process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You  can	 run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-klog /var/service/

UCSPI-TCP SERVICE
       socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument ucspi-tcp, socklog-conf cre-
       ates the	service	directory /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp and	the log	direc-
       tory /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp.

       socklog-conf arranges for tcpsvd(1) to run socklog(8) under the uid and
       gid of acct and to listen on the	TCP socket 0.0.0.0:10116.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in	/var/log/sock-
       log-ucspi-tcp.  The logs	 are  owned  by	 logacct.   The	 corresponding
       svlogd(8) process runs under the	uid and	gid of logacct.

       You  can	 run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp /var/service/

NOTIFY SERVICE
       socklog-conf notify acct	grp

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument notify, socklog-conf creates
       the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-notify.

       socklog-conf arranges for uncat(1) to run under the uid and gid of acct
       and to listen on	the named pipe	/var/log/socklog/.notify.   The	 named
       pipe will have mode 0620, the uid of acct and the gid of	grp.

       All uids	running	a log service that is configured to push log events to
       the socklog-notify service must be member of the	group grp.

       You  can	 run the service under runsvdir(8) by creating a symbolic link
       in the service directory:

       ln -s /etc/sv/socklog-notify /var/service/
