NAME
xtelld - daemon receiving messages from xtell(1) clients SYNOPSIS
xtelld [options] DESCRIPTION
xtelld is daemon receiving messages from the xtell(1) client and displaying them to apropriate user. OPTIONS
--help Short help --alone Force server to run standalone --inetd Force server to act as service of inetd --version Print version information and exit. -sX Lifetime for spawned services (in seconds) ex: -s25 maintain connections for up to 25 seconds -mX Spawn no more than X children services at a time ex: -m15 service no more than 15 requests at once. Note: ignored if inetd service -pX Use port X, default: 4224 -n Do not lookup addresses, use IP numbers instead USAGE
Xtell daemon can run either from inetd(preferred) or from command line. If you decide to start it from inetd, add this line to /etc/ser- vices : xtell 4224/tcp # xtell server and this line to /etc/inetd.conf : xtell stream tcp nowait nobody.tty /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/xtelld Notice that the entries are separated by tabs, not spaces. Restart inetd with killall -HUP inetd What to do if you are a normal user and want to run xtell daemon: You can't run it from inetd, obviously. Just start ./xtelld to use xtell on default port (4224). In this case, xtell can write messages only to you. If there is another user on that system willing to get messages, either s/he starts xtelld on another port (e.g. ./xtelld -p4225), or makes his/her tty writable by you (e.g. chmod a+rw /dev/tty* /dev/pts/*) AUTHOR

bootpgw(8)						      System Manager's Manual							bootpgw(8)

NAME
bootpgw - Internet BOOTP Protocol gateway SYNOPSIS
/usr/opt/obsolete/usr/sbin/bootpgw [-d level] [-t timeout] [-h hopcount] [-w waittime] server [server...] OPTIONS
Sets the debug-level variable that controls the number of debugging messages generated. For example, -d 4 sets the debugging level to 4. Sets the maximum hop count a BOOTP request can contain for this bootpgw daemon to forward the packet. The default is 4. Specifies the timeout value (in minutes) that the bootpgw process waits for a BOOTP packet before exiting. If no packets are received for timeout min- utes, the program exits. A timeout value of zero means run forever. When the bootpgw daemon is not started using the inetd daemon, this option is forced to 0. Specifies the minimum wait time in seconds. Requests are forwarded only if the client has been waiting for at least the specified time. The default value is 0. OPERANDS
Specifies the name or IP address of a BOOTP server to which the bootpgw forwards BOOTP requests. DESCRIPTION
The bootpgw daemon implements a simple BOOTP gateway that can be used to forward requests and responses between clients and BOOTP servers (for example, bootpd) on different subnets. In order to use the bootpgw daemon, you must install the Obsolete Commands and Utilities subset (OSFOBSOLETExxx). The bootpgw can be started by the /usr/sbin/inetd daemon by specifying the following line in the /etc/inetd.conf file: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/bootpgw bootpgw server Note that server specifies the name or IP address of a bootp server to which the bootpgw forwards bootp requests. You may not have the bootpd daemon and the bootpgw daemon running on the same system because they listen on the same bootps port. When the bootpgw daemon is started, it determines the address of a BOOTP server whose name is provided as a command line parameter. When the bootpgw daemon receives a BOOTREQUEST packet, it sets the gateway address and hop count fields in the packet and forwards it to the BOOTP server at the address determined earlier. Then the bootpgw daemon looks in the /etc/services file to find the port numbers it should use. The following two entries are extracted: The bootp server listening port. The destination port used to reply to clients. If the port numbers cannot be determined this way, they are assumed to be 67 for the server and 68 for the client. RESTRICTIONS
You cannot run bootpgw and bprelay on the same system at the same time. FILES
