NAME
ndbootd - ND boot block server
SYNOPSIS
ndbootd [ -dv ]
DESCRIPTION
ndbootd sends boot blocks to diskless Sun-2 system clients that request
them using the (now obsolete) ND protocol. This server uses the boot
block contained in the file /tftpboot/sun2.bb. A client must appear in
the ethers(5) and hosts(5) databases, in order for the request to be
served. In determining whether to serve the client, ndbootd checks the
/tftpboot directory for a file whose name is the client's IP address in
hexadecimal notation. For example, if the file /tftpboot/C00901AD
exists, the machine at IP address 192.9.1.173 can be served. This file
normally contains the boot program that is sent to the client by
tftpd(8C).
Only root can invoke ndbootd.
OPTIONS
-d Debug. Display information about ignored packets, retransmis-
sions, and address translation.
-v Verbose. Show a detailed listing of packets sent and received,
etc.
If either option is used, all output is sent to the invoking terminal.
Otherwise, error output (if any) appears on the console.
FILES
/tftpboot bootfiles directory
