NAME
sredird - RFC 2217 serial port server
SYNOPSIS
sredird
[-i] log-level serial-device lock-file [poll-interval]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
sredird,
program.
This program when run through
inetd
will use the RFC 2217 extensions to TELNET to implement serial commands over
the TCP connection and interface to a specified serial port.
OPTIONS
An optional first parameter is '-i' to enable compatability with Cisco IOS.
The first mandatory parameter is the log level for use in syslog. The next
mandatory parameter is the device node for the serial device, it must be a
fully qualified path. The final mandatory parameter is the file name for the
lock file to be used to prevent multiple instances of
sredird
from talking to the serial port at the same time, or to allow sharing a port
between modem and
sredird.
EXAMPLE
Here is a configuration line for running it from inetd:
sredir stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sredird 5 /dev/modem /var/lock/LCK..modem
