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.
