HUNTD(6)		   OpenBSD Reference Manual		      HUNTD(6)

NAME
     huntd - hunt daemon, back-end for hunt game

SYNOPSIS
     huntd [-bs] [-a addr] [-Dvar=value ...] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION
     huntd controls the multi-player hunt(6) game.

     The -a addr option is used to cause the server to listen only on a
     specific interface address.  The addr argument must be given as an IP
     address.

     If the -b option is specified, huntd will fork and go into the
     background.  In this mode, errors will be logged via syslog instead of to
     stderr.

     Options given with -D override those read from configuration files (see
     CONFIGURATION, below).

     The -p port option changes the UDP port number used to rendezvous with
     the player process and thus allows for private games of hunt(6).

     The -s option is for running huntd forever (server mode).	This is
     similar to running it under the control of inetd(8) (see below), but it
     consumes a process table entry when no one is playing, and monitor
     clients are not disconnected.

   INETD
     To run huntd from inetd(8), you'll need to add this line to
     /etc/inetd.conf:

	   hunt dgram udp wait nobody /usr/games/huntd HUNT

     Do not use any of the command line options -- if you want inetd(8) to
     start up huntd on a private port, change the port listed in
     /etc/services.

   NETWORK RENDEZVOUS
     When hunt(6) starts up, it broadcasts on attached networks, using the
     broadcast or point-to-point destination address for each interface, to
     find a hunt game in progress.  If a huntd hears the request, it sends
     back the port number for the hunt process to connect to.

     Regardless of how huntd is started, it always checks incoming connections
     with hosts_access(5), using a service name of `huntd'.

   CONFIGURATION
     When huntd starts, it looks for configuration files that determine game
     parameters.  Each line of a configuration file is of the form var =
     value.  Comments start with a hash sign (`#').  The configuration files
     loaded in order (if they exist) are: /etc/hunt.conf, $HOME/.hunt.conf,
     and ./.hunt.conf.

     Many of these variables require intimate knowledge of the driver source
     code.  The complete list of configurable variables is as follows.
