More internet protocol service daemons may appear in the future. <h2><a name='sect3'>Options</a></h2> <dl> <dt><b>-i <i>dir</b> </i></dt> <dd>read instructions for handling new connections from the instructions directory <i>dir</i>. See <i><b>ipsvd-instruct</b>(5)</i> for details. </dd> <dt><b>-x <i>cdb</b> </i></dt> <dd>read instructions for handling new connections from the constant database <i>cdb</i>. The constant database normally is created from an instructions directory by running <i><b>ipsvd-cdb</b>(8)</i>. </dd> <dt><b>-t <i>sec</b> </i></dt> <dd>timeout. This option only takes effect if the -i option is given. While checking the instructions directory, check the time of last access of the file that matches the clients address or hostname if any, discard and remove the file if it wasn’t accessed within the last <i>sec</i> seconds; <b>ipsvd</b> does not discard or remove a file if the user’s write permission is not set, for those files the timeout is disabled. Default is 0, which means that the timeout is disabled. </dd> <dt><b>-l <i>name</b> </i></dt> <dd>local hostname. Do not look up the local hostname in DNS, but use <i>name</i> as hostname. </dd> <dt><b>-u <i>[:]user[:group]</b> </i></dt> <dd>drop permissions. Set uid and gid to the <i>user</i>’s uid and gid, as found in <i>/etc/passwd</i>, before running <i>prog</i>. If <i>user</i> is followed by a colon and a <i>group</i>, set the gid to <i>group</i>’s gid, as found in <i>/etc/group</i>, instead of <i>user</i>’s gid. If <i>group</i> consists of a colon-separated list of group names, set the group ids of all listed groups. If <i>user</i> is prefixed with a colon, the <i>user</i> and all <i>group</i> arguments are interpreted as uid and gids respectively, and not looked up in the password or group file. All supplementary groups are removed. </dd> <dt><b>-h</b> </dt> <dd>Look up the client’s hostname in DNS. </dd> <dt><b>-p</b> </dt> <dd>paranoid. After looking up the client’s hostname in DNS, look up the IP addresses in DNS for that hostname, and forget about the hostname if none of the addresses match the client’s IP address. You should set this option if you use hostname based instructions. The -p option implies the -h option. </dd> </dl> <h2><a name='sect4'>Signals</a></h2> If an <b>ipsvd</b> receives a TERM signal, it exists with 0. <h2><a name='sect5'>See Also</a></h2> <i>tcpsvd(8)</i>, <i>sslsvd(8)</i>, <i>udpsvd(8)</i>, <i>ipsvd-instruct(5)</i>, <i>ipsvd-cdb(8)</i> <p> <i>http://smarden.org/ipsvd/</i> <h2><a name='sect6'>Author</a></h2> Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org> <p> <hr><p> <a name='toc'><b>Table of Contents</b></a><p> <ul> <li><a name='toc0' href='#sect0'>Name</a></li> <li><a name='toc1' href='#sect1'>Synopsis</a></li> <li><a name='toc2' href='#sect2'>Description</a></li> <li><a name='toc3' href='#sect3'>Options</a></li> <li><a name='toc4' href='#sect4'>Signals</a></li> <li><a name='toc5' href='#sect5'>See Also</a></li> <li><a name='toc6' href='#sect6'>Author</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>
