SYNOPSIS

9       knopmd
10

DESCRIPTION

12       knopmd  reads  messages  from the /var/lib/fwknop/fwknopfifo named pipe
13       and prints any firewall related log messages to the  fwknop  data  file
14       "/var/log/fwknop/fwdata".   Note that knopmd is only used in the legacy
15       port knocking mode, and the default authentication/authorization method
16       used  by  fwknop  is  Single Packet Authorization (SPA).  fwknop cannot
17       detect port knocking sequences without knopmd running on  the  machine.
18       knopmd  references  the fwknop.conf configuration file which by default
19       is located at /etc/fwknop/fwknop.conf, but  a  different  path  can  be
20       specified on the command line.
