XINETD.LOG(5)		       File Formats Manual		   XINETD.LOG(5)

NAME
     xinetd.log - xinetd service log format

DESCRIPTION
     A	service  configuration	may  specify various degrees of logging when at-
     tempts are made to access the service. When logging for a	service  is  en-
     abled,  xinetd  will generate one-line log entries which have the following
     format (all entries have a timestamp as a prefix):

	    entry: service-id data

     The data depends on the entry.  Possible entry types include:

	    START	generated when a server is started

	    EXIT	generated when a server exits

	    FAIL	generated when it is not possible to start a server

	    USERID	generated if the USERID log option is used.

	    NOID	generated if the USERID log  option  is  used,	and  the
			IDONLY service flag is used, and the remote end does not
			identify who is trying to access the service.

     In  the  following, the information enclosed in brackets appears if the ap-
     propriate log option is used.

     A START entry has the format:

	    START: service-id [pid=%d] [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]

     An EXIT entry has the format:

	    EXIT: service-id [type=%d] [pid=%d] [duration=%d(sec)]

     type can be either status or signal.  The number is either the exit  status
     or the signal that caused process termination.

     A FAIL entry has the format:

	    FAIL: service-id reason [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]

     Possible reasons are:

	    fork	   a  certain number of consecutive fork attempts failed
			   (this number is a configurable parameter)

	    time	   the time check failed

	    address	   the address check failed

	    service_limit  the allowed number of server instances for this  ser-
			   vice would be exceeded

	    process_limit  a  limit on the number of forked processes was speci-
			   fied and it would be exceeded

     A DATA entry has the format:

	    DATA: service-id data

     The data logged depends on the service.

	    login	remote_user=%s local_user=%s tty=%s

	    exec	remote_user=%s verify=status command=%s
			Possible status values:

			ok	  the password was correct

			failed	  the password was incorrect

			baduser   no such user

	    shell	remote_user=%s local_user=%s command=%s

	    finger	received string or EMPTY-LINE

     A USERID entry has the format:

	    USERID: service-id text

     The text is the response of the identification daemon at the remote end ex-
     cluding the port numbers (which are included in the response).

     A NOID entry has the format:

	    NOID: service-id IP-address reason
