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
