        !            29: .B rbootd
        !            30: [\-a] [\-d] [ConfigFile]
        !            31: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            32: .I Rbootd
        !            33: services boot requests from Hewlett-Packard workstations over a
        !            34: local area network.
        !            35: All boot files must reside in the boot file directory; further, if a
        !            36: client supplies path information in its boot request, it will be
        !            37: silently stripped away before processing.
        !            38: By default,
        !            39: .I rbootd
        !            40: only responds to requests from machines listed in its configuration
        !            41: file.
        !            42: .PP
        !            43: .I Rbootd
        !            44: supports the following command line options:
        !            45: .TP
        !            46: .B \-a
        !            47: Respond to boot requests from any machine.  With this option,
        !            48: the configuration file is ignored.
        !            49: .TP
        !            50: .B \-d
        !            51: Run server in debug mode.  Packets sent and
        !            52: received are displayed to the terminal.
        !            53: .TP
        !            54: .B ConfigFile
        !            55: Specify a different configuration file.
        !            56: .PP
        !            57: The configuration file consists of ascii text where each line describes
        !            58: a particular machine.  A line must start with a machines'
        !            59: .I ethernet address
        !            60: followed by an optional list of
        !            61: .I boot file names.
        !            62: An ethernet address is specified in hexadecimal with each of its six
        !            63: octets separated by a colon.  The boot file names come from the boot
        !            64: file directory.
        !            65: The ethernet address and boot file(s) must be separated
        !            66: by white-space and/or commas.  A pound sign causes the remainder of
        !            67: a line to be ignored.  Here is a sample configuration file:
        !            68: .in +4

        !            87: server's termination.  In general, a non-fatal error is handled
        !            88: by ignoring the event that caused it (e.g. an invalid Ethernet
        !            89: address in the config file causes that line to be invalidated).
        !            90: .PP
