NAME

       knopmd - separates iptables messages from all other kernel messages.

SYNOPSIS

       knopmd

DESCRIPTION

       knopmd  reads  messages  from the /var/lib/fwknop/fwknopfifo named pipe
       and prints any firewall related log messages to the  fwknop  data  file
       "/var/log/fwknop/fwdata".   Note that knopmd is only used in the legacy
       port knocking mode, and the default authentication/authorization method
       used  by  fwknop  is  Single Packet Authorization (SPA).  fwknop cannot
       detect port knocking sequences without knopmd running on  the  machine.
       knopmd  references  the fwknop.conf configuration file which by default
       is located at /etc/fwknop/fwknop.conf, but  a  different  path  can  be
       specified on the command line.
