NAME

yuidd - YUID Distributed ID server

SYNOPSIS

yuidd [--port <port>] [--hostid <hostid>]

DESCRIPTION

yuidd implements the server portion of the YUID client/server protocol.

USAGE

The options are:

--hostid <host-id>

Specifies the unique host ID of the machine running this server instance. This is equivalent to the use of a MAC address in Type-1 UUIDs.

This argument is optional, but highly recommended. If you don't provide a host ID, an ID will be randomly generated, but this leaves the potential for collisions.

--port <port>

Specifies the port for the server to listen on.

This argument is optional. If not provided, yuidd will listen on port 9001.

--daemon

Specifies that the server should be daemonized to run in the background.

This argument is optional. If not provided, the server will run in the foreground.

--debug

Turns on debugging information.

This argument is optional. If not provided, debugging is off.
