NAME

       ulogd - netfilter/iptables ULOG daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ulogd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       ulogd  connects  to  the  netlink  device of the Linux kernel and reads
       messages from the netfilter that get  queued  with  the  iptables  ULOG
       target.  For this to work you have to compile the ULOG target into your
       kernel or load the respective module.

       The received messages can be logged into  files  or  into  a  mySQL  or
       PostgreSQL database.

OPTIONS

       -d, --daemon
              fork ulogd into background (start as daemon)

       -c <filename>, --configfile <filename>
              use <filename> as configuration file instead of /etc/ulogd.conf

       -h, --help
              show usage information

       -V, --version
              show version information and copyright

FILES

       /etc/ulogd.conf
       /var/log/ulog/ulogd.log
