10 .\" *********************** DESCRIPTION ****************************
12 A service configuration may specify various degrees of logging when
13 attempts are made to access the service. When logging for a service
16 will generate one-line log entries which have the following format
17 (all entries have a timestamp as a prefix):
20 \fIentry\fP: \fIservice-id\fP \fIdata\fP
23 The \fIdata\fP depends on the \fIentry\fP.
24 Possible \fIentry\fP types include:
28 generated when a server is started
31 generated when a server exits
34 generated when it is not possible to start a server
37 generated if the \fIUSERID\fP log option is used.
46 and the remote end does not identify who is trying to access the service.
49 In the following, the information enclosed in brackets appears
50 if the appropriate log option is used.
52 A \fISTART\fP entry has the format:
55 START: \fIservice-id\fP [pid=%d] [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]
58 An \fIEXIT\fP entry has the format:
61 EXIT: \fIservice-id\fP [\fItype\fP=%d] [pid=%d] [duration=%d(sec)]
69 The number is either the exit status or the signal that caused process
72 A \fIFAIL\fP entry has the format:
75 FAIL: \fIservice-id\fP \fIreason\fP [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]
78 Possible \fIreasons\fP are:
82 a certain number of consecutive fork attempts failed (this number is
83 a configurable parameter)
89 the address check failed
92 the allowed number of server instances for this service would be exceeded
95 a limit on the number of forked processes was specified and it would
99 A \fIDATA\fP entry has the format:
102 DATA: \fIservice-id\fP \fIdata\fP
105 The \fIdata\fP logged depends on the service.
109 remote_user=%s local_user=%s tty=%s
112 remote_user=%s verify=\fIstatus\fP command=%s
120 the password was correct
123 the password was incorrect
130 remote_user=%s local_user=%s command=%s
133 \fIreceived string\fP or
137 A \fIUSERID\fP entry has the format:
140 USERID: \fIservice-id\fP \fItext\fP
143 The \fItext\fP is the response of the identification daemon at the remote end
144 excluding the port numbers (which are included in the response).
146 A \fINOID\fP entry has the format:
149 NOID: \fIservice-id\fP \fIIP-address\fP \fIreason\fP
