NAME
mopd —
Maintenance Operations Protocol
(MOP) Loader Daemon
SYNOPSIS
mopd |
[-adf]
[-s
mopdir]
[interface]
[...] |
DESCRIPTION
mopd services DEC Maintenance Operations Protocol (MOP) Load
requests on the Ethernet connected to
interface or all
interfaces if
-a option is given.
In a load request received by
mopd a filename can be given by
the client. This is the normal case for terminal servers. If a filename isn't
in the client load request
mopd must know what image to
load.
Upon receiving a request,
mopd checks if the requested file
exists in
/tftpboot/mop (unless the
-s
option is given, see below) the filename is normally uppercase and with an
extension of
.SYS. If the filename isn't given, the ethernet
address of the target is used as filename, e.g.
08002b09f4de.SYS and it might be a soft link to another
file.
mopd supports two kinds of files. The first type that is check
is if the file is in
a.out(5)
format. If not, a couple of Digital's formats are checked.
In normal operation,
mopd forks a copy of itself and runs in
the background. Anomalies and errors are reported via
syslog(3).
OPTIONS
-
-
- -a
- Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system. If
-a is omitted, an interface must be specified.
-
-
- -d
- Run in debug mode, with all the output to stdout. The
process will run in the foreground.
-
-
- -f
- Run in the foreground.
-

NOTES
mopd automatically appends an upper case
.SYS to the filename provided by the client. The typical
client sends the requested file name in upper case.
