The Linux Manuals (man pages) document is an important part of Linux documents. Linux Manuals are organized as several sections. Each section has a group of commands for a specific area in Linux usage, administration or development.
logcheck – program to scan system logs for interesting lines Synopsis logcheck [ OPTIONS ] Description The logcheck program helps spot problems and security violations in your logfiles automatically and will send the results to you periodically in an e-mail. By default logcheck runs as an hourly cronjob just off the hour and after every…
logadm_r – Log administrator role – Security Enhanced Linux Policy Description SELinux supports Roles Based Access Control (RBAC), some Linux roles are login roles, while other roles need to be transition into. Note: Examples in this man page will use the staff_u SELinux user. Non login roles are usually used for administrative tasks. For example,…
log_db_daemon – Database logging daemon for Squid Synopsis log_db_daemon DSN [options] Descriptoin This program writes Squid access.log entries to a database. Presently only accepts the squid native format DSN Database DSN encoded as a path. This is sent as the access_log file path. Sample configuration: access_log daemon:/host/database/table/username/password squid to leave a parameter unspecified use a…
lockdev_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the lockdev processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the lockdev processes via flexible mandatory access control. The lockdev processes execute with the lockdev_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep…
Lockdev is a setgid binary, which provides a reliable way to put an exclusive lock in /var/lock to devices (e.g. ttyS0) using both FSSTND and SVr4 methods, so regular users don’t need write access there. This task is achieved through calls to the liblockdev(3) API. Synopsis /usr/sbin/lockdev [<operation>] <device> Description The lockdev command can perform…
locate_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the locate processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the locate processes via flexible mandatory access control. The locate processes execute with the locate_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep…
locale-gen — generates localisation files from templates Synopsis locale-gen Description This manual page documents briefly the locale-gen command. By default, the locale package which provides the base support for localisation of libc-based programs does not contain usable localisation files for every supported language. This limitation has became necessary because of the substantial size of such…
local_login_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the local_login processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the local_login processes via flexible mandatory access control. The local_login processes execute with the local_login_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep…
local – Postfix local mail delivery Synopsis local [generic Postfix daemon options] Description The local(8) daemon processes delivery requests from the Postfix queue manager to deliver mail to local recipients. Each delivery request specifies a queue file, a sender address, a domain or host to deliver to, and one or more recipients. This program expects…
loadunimap – load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table Synopsis loadunimap [ -C console ] [ -o oldmap ] [ map ] Description The loadunimap command is obsolete – its function is now built-in into setfont(8). However, for backwards compatibility it is still available as a separate command. The program loadunimap loads the specified map in…
loadndisdriver – load ndis driver (wrapper) Synopsis loadndisdriver [options] Description This manual page documents briefly the loadndisdriver command. loadndisdriver is a wrapper for the version-specific loadndisdriver-X.X programs (where -X.X is the version number of the utils; ie, loadndisdriver-1.8). It simply figures out which version should be called, and calls the appropriate binary. Each version’s man…
loadndisdriver – Userspace ndis driver loader for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module Synopsis loadndisdriver Description loadndisdriver is a support program for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module. The ndiswrapper kernel module uses it to load ndis drivers that have been installed via the ndiswrapper(8) tool. loadndisdriver should not be used directly, only the kernel module should…
loadkeys_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the loadkeys processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the loadkeys processes via flexible mandatory access control. The loadkeys processes execute with the loadkeys_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep…
load_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load processes via flexible mandatory access control. Booleans SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. load policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run load with the tightest access…
load_policy_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load_policy processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load_policy processes via flexible mandatory access control. The load_policy processes execute with the load_policy_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep…
load_policy – load a new SELinux policy into the kernel Synopsis load_policy [-qi] Description load_policy loads the installed policy file into the kernel. The existing policy boolean values are automatically preserved across policy reloads rather than being reset to the default values in the policy file. Options -q suppress warning messages. -i initial policy load….
lnstat – unified linux network statistics Synopsis lnstat [options] Description This manual page documents briefly the lnstat command. lnstat is a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the old rtstat program. It is commonly used to periodically print a selection of statistical values exported by the kernel. In addition to routing cache statistics, it supports…
