NAME
bbscomd - OurNet BBS Remote Access Daemon
SYNOPSIS
bbscomd [ -acdfghx ] [ -b addr ] [ -p port ] [ -u key ] 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.
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.
Please refer to OurNet::BBS modules for more information on usage.
EXAMPLES
Starting a typical MELIX daemon, require authentication, but allowing unpriviledged 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
