All boot files must reside in the boot file directory; further, if a client supplies path information in its boot request, it will be silently stripped away before processing. By default, .Nm rbootd only responds to requests from machines listed in its configuration file. .Pp .Nm Rbootd supports the following command line options: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl a Respond to boot requests from any machine. With this option, the configuration file is ignored. .It Fl d Run server in debug mode. Packets sent and received are displayed to the terminal. .It Ar ConfigFile Specify a different configuration file. .El .Pp The configuration file consists of ascii text where each line describes a particular machine. A line must start with a machines' .Em ethernet address followed by an optional list of .Em boot file names . An ethernet address is specified in hexadecimal with each of its six octets separated by a colon. The boot file names come from the boot file directory. The ethernet address and boot file(s) must be separated by white-space and/or commas. A pound sign causes the remainder of a line to be ignored. Here is a sample configuration file: .Bd -literal # # ethernet addr boot file(s) comments # 08:00:09:0:66:ad SYSHPBSD # snake (4.3BSD) 08:00:09:0:59:5b # vandy (anything) 8::9:1:C6:75 SYSHPBSD,SYSHPUX # jaguar (either) .Ed .Pp .Nm Rbootd logs status and error messages via .Xr syslog . A startup message is always logged, and in the case of fatal errors (or deadly signals) a message is logged announcing the server's termination. In general, a non-fatal error is handled by ignoring the event that caused it (e.g. an invalid Ethernet address in the config file causes that line to be invalidated). .Pp The following signals have the specified effect when sent to the server process using the .Xr kill 1 command. .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Dv SIGHUP Drop all active connections and reconfigure. .It Dv SIGUSR1 Turn on debugging, do nothing if already on. .Pf ( Dv SIGEMT on older systems without .Dv SIGUSR1 ) .It Dv SIGUSR2 Turn off debugging, do nothing if already off. .Pf ( Dv SIGFPE on older systems without .Dv SIGUSR2 ) .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /usr/tmp/rbootd.dbgxx -compact .It Pa /etc/rbootd.conf configuration file .It Pa /usr/lib/rbootd directory containing boot files .It Pa /etc/rbootd.pid process id .It Pa /usr/tmp/rbootd.dbg debug output .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kill 1 , .Xr socket 2 , .Xr signal 3 , .Xr syslog 3 , .Xr rmp 4 .Sh AUTHOR Jeff Forys, University of Utah .Sh BUGS If more than one server is started, both will receive and respond to the same boot packets. .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command is .Ud
