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</i>[:<i>group</i>]</b> </dt> <dd>drop permissions. Switch user ID to <i>user</i>’s UID, and group ID to <i>user</i>’s primary GID before running <i>prog</i>. If <i>user</i> is followed by a colon and a group name, the group ID is switched to the GID of <i>group</i> instead. 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>
