1.  What is Kismet-SYSLOG

    Kismet-SYSLOG is a Kismet plugin which provides a bridge from the
    Kismet alert and info system to standard unix syslog services.

    Alerts are logged as LOG_CRIT under the USER service.  The syslog ID is
    the name assigned to the Kismet server.

2.  Compiling

	Compiling the Kismet-SYSLOG plugin requires the Kismet source be installed
	and configured.

	By default, Kismet-SYSLOG expects the Kismet source to be in
	/usr/src/kismet; this can be overridden by setting the
	KIS_SRC_DIR environment variable:

		cd plugin-syslog/
		KIS_SRC_DIR=/home/foo/src/kismet make

4.  Installing

	Kismet plugins may be installed system-wide in the plugins directory (by
	default, /usr/local/lib/kismet/) or in the users home directory
	(~/.kismet/plugins)

    The default installation path can be overridden with the KIS_DEST_DIR
    variable if you have not installed Kismet in the default location and
    wish to install the plugin in the system-wide plugins directory:
        cd plugin-ptw
        KIS_DEST_DIR=/usr make install

    Plugins can be installed in the current users home directory with:
        cd plugin-ptw
        make userinstall

5.  Using

    Once the plugin is loaded, Kismet will automatically log alerts to
    syslog.

    Messages from Kismet (the console output) can be logged by enabling the
        syslogtype=...
    line in kismet.conf

    Syslog log types can be:
        any          All messages from Kismet are logged
        none         No messages from Kismet are logged
        info         INFO-class messages
        error        ERROR-class messages
        fatal        FATAL-class messages
        alert        ALERT-class messages

    Examples:
        syslogtype=all

        syslogtype=error,fatal
