NAME
xinetd.log − xinetd service log format
DESCRIPTION
A service configuration may specify various degrees of logging when attempts are made to access the service. When logging for a service is enabled, xinetd will generate one-line log entries which have the following format (all entries have a timestamp as a prefix):
entry: service-id data
The data depends on the entry. Possible entry types include:
|
START |
generated when a server is started | ||
|
EXIT |
generated when a server exits | ||
|
FAIL |
generated when it is not possible to start a server | ||
|
USERID |
generated if the USERID log option is used. | ||
|
NOID |
generated if the USERID log option is used, and the IDONLY service flag is used, and the remote end does not identify who is trying to access the service. |
In the following, the information enclosed in brackets appears if the appropriate log option is used.
A START entry has the format:
START: service-id [pid=%d] [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]
An EXIT entry has the format:
EXIT: service-id [type=%d] [pid=%d] [duration=%d(sec)]
type can be either status or signal. The number is either the exit status or the signal that caused process termination.
A FAIL entry has the format:
FAIL: service-id reason [from=%d.%d.%d.%d]
Possible reasons are:
|
fork |
a certain number of consecutive fork attempts failed (this number is a configurable parameter) | ||
|
time |
the time check failed | ||
|
address |
the address check failed | ||
|
service_limit |
the allowed number of server instances for this service would be exceeded | ||
|
process_limit |
a limit on the number of forked processes was specified and it would be exceeded |
A DATA entry has the format:
DATA: service-id data
The data logged depends on the service.
|
login |
remote_user=%s local_user=%s tty=%s | ||
|
exec |
remote_user=%s verify=status command=%s |
Possible status values:
|

|
baduser |
no such user |
|||
|

A USERID entry has the format:
