NAME

bbscomd - OurNet BBS Remote Access Daemon

SYNOPSIS

bbscomd [ -acdfgGhsx ] [ -b addr ] [ -p port ] [ -u key ] [ -l logfile ] [ -t timeout ] backend [ argument... ]

DESCRIPTION

The bbscomd starts a OurNet::BBS::Server daemon listening on the specified port (default 7979). Remote users could then start using the OurNet backend or OurNet::BBS::Client to connect like this: use OurNet::BBS; my $Remote_BBS = OurNet::BBS->new(OurNet => 'remote.org'); If the "-f" flag is specified, bbscomd will fork a new process to run as daemon. The "-d" flag turns on debugging. The "-u" specifies the pgp keyid or userid used in authorization. If "-a" is supplied, the server will serve in the authenticated mode with additional permission controls. Similarly, "-c" disallows insecure cipher modes. The "-g" flag allows server to assume "guest" as the user ID on a failed Authentication (fallback to AUTH_NONE), with corresponding permissions. Similarly, the "-G" flag allows the client to authenticate as ANY user they wanted to; because of the security risk, this flag automatically specifies "-b localhost" for you. Note that this does not assume the behaviour of "-g"; you'll have to specify "-gG" explicitly to turn on both settings. The "-s" flag permits single-connection only. This is primary used for single-user situations. The "-x" flag assumes default settings on Win32. It's not meant to be used on other platforms. If you don't want to bind all available IPs, specify one using the "-b" flag. The "-t" flag sets the "connection-timeout" option to the Server object, which causes a child connection to terminate after an inactivity for timeout seconds. If you want to keep a Net::Daemon styled log file, specify the file name to "-l". Please refer to OurNet::BBS modules for more information on usage.

EXAMPLES

Starting a typical MELIX daemon, require authentication, but allowing unprivileged guest access: % bbscomd -acfg -u melix MELIX /home/melix 2997 350 Starting a localhost-only bridge at port 8080 to another OurNet node, with debugging output: % bbscomd -d -b 127.0.0.1 -p 8080 OurNet localhost
