26: .SH NAME
27: rbootd \- HP remote boot server
28: .SH SYNOPSIS
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
69: .nf
70:
71: .ta \w'08:00:09:01:C6:75 'u +\w'SYSHPBSD,SYSHPUX 'u +\w'# jaguar (either)'u

73: # ethernet addr boot file(s) comments

76: 08:00:09:0:59:5b # vandy (anything)
77: 8::9:1:C6:75 SYSHPBSD,SYSHPUX # jaguar (either)
78: .DT
79: .fi
80: .in
81: .PP
82: .I Rbootd
83: logs status and error messages via
84: .I syslog.
85: A startup message is always logged, and in the case of fatal
86: errors (or deadly signals) a message is logged announcing the
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
91: The following signals have the specified effect when sent to
92: the server process using the kill(1) command.
93: .IP SIGHUP
94: Drop all active connections and reconfigure.
95: .IP SIGUSR1
96: Turn on debugging, do nothing if already on. (SIGEMT on older systems
97: without SIGUSR1)
98: .IP SIGUSR2
99: Turn off debugging, do nothing if already off. (SIGFPE on older systems
100: without SIGUSR2)
