From caede8f6216a27d06c755698fb0056c32e60bcdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rainer Gerhards Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 15:00:40 +0200 Subject: added $InputUnixListenSocketHostName config directive It permits to override the hostname being used on a local unix socket. This is useful for differentiating "hosts" running in several jails. Feature was suggested by David Darville, thanks for the suggestion. --- doc/imuxsock.html | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++------ doc/manual.html | 2 +- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/imuxsock.html b/doc/imuxsock.html index ee367dbc..3beabe94 100644 --- a/doc/imuxsock.html +++ b/doc/imuxsock.html @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ -Unix Socket Input - + +Unix Socket Input
