NAME
ulogd - netfilter/iptables ULOG daemon
SYNOPSIS
ulogd [options]
DESCRIPTION
ulogd
connects to the netlink device of the Linux kernel and reads messages

this to work you have to compile the ULOG target into your kernel or
load the respective module.
The received messages can be logged into files or into a mySQL or
PostgreSQL database.
