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).
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.
