.SH NAME
.B kmsgsd
\- separates iptables messages from all other kernel messages.
.SH SYNOPSIS

cannot detect port scans or other suspect traffic without kmsgsd running on
the machine.

located at /etc/psad/psad.conf, but a different path can be specified
on the command line.

derives from /etc/psad/psad.conf (or other override files) on STDERR.
