  NAME

    log - Logs remote connection request

  SYNOPSIS

    /usr/ip32/tcpip/secure/log

  DESCRIPTION

    The log utility allows you to start the tcpd server to monitor incoming
    requests for connection to any network service listed in the
    /etc/inetd.conf file.  When log is started, it modifies the
    /etc/inetd.conf file so that when a connection request comes in, inetd
    first invokes the tcpd server to check for access permissions.  If access
    is granted, then the requested service is invoked.  If access is denied,
    then the connection request is refused.

    When the log utility is stopped, inetd is stopped and the modified
    /etc/inetd.conf file is replaced with the original /etc/inetd.conf file.
    The inetd server is then restarted.

    The tcpd server reports the name of the remote host and the service being
    requested, as well as whether the connection request was granted or
    denied, to the /usr/adm/tcp_log file.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To start the log utility, as superuser key in the following:

        /usr/ip32/tcpip/secure/log start


    2.  To stop the log utility, as superuser key in the following:

        /usr/ip32/tcpip/secure/log stop
