Short Descriptions
klogd | A system daemon for intercepting and logging kernel messages |
---|---|
syslogd | Logs the messages that system programs offer for logging. Every logged message contains at least a date stamp and a hostname, and normally the program's name too, but that depends on how trusting the logging daemon is told to be. |
