HUNTD(6)							 BSD Games Manual							  HUNTD(6)

NAME
huntd -- hunt daemon, back-end for hunt game SYNOPSIS
huntd [-s] [-p port] DESCRIPTION
huntd controls the multi-player hunt(6) game. When it starts up, it tries to notify all members of the hunt-players mailing list (see sendmail(8)) by faking a talk(1) request from user ``Hunt Game''. The -s option is for running huntd forever (server mode). This is similar to running it under the control of inetd(8) (see below), but it consumes a process table entry when no one is playing. The -p option changes the UDP port number used to rendezvous with the player process and thus allows for private games of hunt. This option turns off the notification of players on the hunt-players mailing list. INETD To run huntd from inetd(8), you'll need to uncomment the following line in /etc/inetd.conf: hunt dgram udp wait nobody /usr/games/huntd huntd Do not use any of the command line options; if you want inetd(8) to start up huntd on a private port, change the port listed for hunt in /etc/services. NETWORK RENDEZVOUS
When hunt(6) starts up, it broadcasts on the local area net (using the broadcast address for each interface) to find a hunt game in progress. If a huntd hears the request, it sends back the port number for the hunt process to connect to. Otherwise, the hunt process starts up a huntd on the local machine and tries to rendezvous with it.

NAME
ttydefs - file contains terminal line settings information for ttymon DESCRIPTION
/etc/ttydefs is an administrative file that contains records divided into fields by colons (":"). This information used by ttymon to set up the speed and terminal settings for a TTY port. The ttydefs file contains the following fields: ttylabel The string ttymon tries to match against the TTY port's ttylabel field in the port monitor administrative file. It often describes the speed at which the terminal is supposed to run, for example, 1200. initial-flags Contains the initial termio(7I) settings to which the terminal is to be set. For example, the system administrator will be able to specify what the default erase and kill characters will be. initial-flags must be specified in the syntax rec- ognized by the stty command. final-flags final-flags must be specified in the same format as initial-flags. ttymon sets these final settings after a connection request has been made and immediately prior to invoking a port's service. autobaud If the autobaud field contains the character 'A,' autobaud will be enabled. Otherwise, autobaud will be disabled. ttymon determines what line speed to set the TTY port to by analyzing the carriage returns entered. If autobaud has been dis- abled, the hunt sequence is used for baud rate determination. nextlabel If the user indicates that the current terminal setting is not appropriate by sending a BREAK, ttymon searchs for a tty- defs entry whose ttylabel field matches the nextlabel field. If a match is found, ttymon uses that field as its ttylabel field. A series of speeds is often linked together in this way into a closed set called a hunt sequence. For example, 4800 may be linked to 1200, which in turn is linked to 2400, which is finally linked to 4800. SEE ALSO
