skiplog: Viewing Security Events

skiplog displays security events for the local system. It displays the types of events presented below. In all cases, the date and time of the event, as well as the IP address information, are logged.

Unknown Source--A packet was received from a system that is not currently in the ACL. The packet is dropped.

Unknown Destination--The local system sent a packet to a system that is not currently in the ACL. The packet is dropped.

Excluded Source--A packet was received from a system explicitly excluded by the ACL. The packet is dropped.

Excluded Destination--The local system sent a packet to a system that was explicitly excluded by the ACL. The packet is dropped.

Bad Parameters--A packet was received that contained security parameters that were incompatible with the ACL entry.

Only one instance of skiplog may be active for a given network interface. skiptool's "Ask for Confirmation" and "Add Automatically" options may not be active at the same time as skiplog for a given network interface.

See the man pages for more detail.
