++.SH NAME
++logcheck \- program to scan system logs for interesting lines
++.SH SYNOPSIS
++
++\fBlogcheck\fR [ \fBOPTIONS\fR ]
++
++.SH "DESCRIPTION"
++.PP
++The \fBlogcheck\fR program helps spot problems and
++security violations in your logfiles automatically and will send the
++results to you periodically in an e-mail. By default logcheck runs as
++an hourly cronjob just off the hour and after every reboot.
++.PP
++\fBlogcheck\fR supports three level of filtering:
++"paranoid" is for high-security machines running as few services
++as possible. Don't use it if you can't handle its verbose messages.
++"server" is the default and contains rules for many different daemons.
++"workstation" is for sheltered machines and filters most of the messages.
++The ignore rules work in additive manner. "paranoid" rules are also
++included at level "server" and "workstation".
++.PP
++The messages reported are sorted into three layers, system events,
++security events and attack alerts. The verbosity of system events is
++controlled by which level you choose, paranoid, server or workstation.
++However, security events and attack alerts are not affected by this.
++.SH "EXAMPLES"
++.PP
++\fBlogcheck\fR can be invoked directly thanks
++to su(8) or sudo(8), which change the user ID. The following example checks the logfiles
++without updating the offset and outputs everything to STDOUT.
++.PP
++sudo -u logcheck \fBlogcheck\fR -o -t
