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
       service).   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/socklog.  The logs are owned by  logacct.   The  corresponding
       svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You  can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the
       update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-unix

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/socklog-inet.   The  logs   are   owned   by   logacct.    The
       corresponding  svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through  the
       update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-inet

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/socklog-klog.   The  logs   are   owned   by   logacct.    The
       corresponding  svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

       You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through  the
       update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-klog

UCSPI-TCP SERVICE

       socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct

       Running  socklog-conf  with  the  1st  argument ucspi-tcp, socklog-conf
       creates the service directory  /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp  and  the  log
       directory /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/socklog-ucspi-tcp.   The  logs  are  owned  by  logacct.   The
       corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of  logacct.

       You  can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the
       update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp

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 add the service to system-wide service supervision through  the
       update-service(8) program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-notify
