This is the sysklogd package for Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sysklogd package implements two system log daemons. The syslogd
|
||
|
|
daemon is the general system logging daemon which is responsible for
|
||
|
|
handling requests for syslog services. This version of syslogd is
|
||
|
|
similar to the standard Berkeley product but with a number of compatible
|
||
|
|
extensions. The klogd daemon runs either standalone or as a client
|
||
|
|
of syslogd. Klogd 'listens' to kernel log messages, prioritizes them
|
||
|
|
and routes them to either output files or to syslogd. This version
|
||
|
|
of klogd will optionally translate kernel addresses to their symbolic
|
||
|
|
equivalents if provided with a system map.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is Dr. Greg W. Wettstein's version of sysklogd. It is maintained
|
||
|
|
by Martin Schulze.
