+.SH NAME
+huntd \- hunt daemon, back-end for hunt game
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fB/usr/games/huntd\fP [ \fB\-s\fP ] [ \fB\-p\fP port ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.I huntd
+controls the multi-player
+.IR hunt (6)
+game.
+When it starts up, it tries to notify all members of the
+.I hunt-players
+mailing list (see
+.IR sendmail (8))
+by faking a
+.IR talk (1)
+request from user ``Hunt Game''.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-s
+option is for running
+.I huntd
+forever (server mode).
+This is similar to running it under the control of
+.I inetd
+(see below),
+but it consumes a process table entry when no one is playing.
+.PP
+The
+.B \-p
+option changes the udp port number used to rendezvous with the player
+process and thus allows for private games of hunt.
+This option turns off the notification of players on the
+.I hunt-players
+mailing list.
+.SH INETD
+.PP
+To run
+.I huntd
+from
+.IR inetd ,
+you'll need to put the
+.I hunt
+service in
+.BR /etc/services :
+.IP
+hunt 26740/udp		# multi-player/multi-host mazewars
+.LP
+and add a line in
+.BR /etc/inetd.conf :
+.IP
+hunt dgram udp wait nobody /usr/games/huntd HUNT
+.LP
+except for Suns which use
+.BR /etc/servers :
+.IP
+hunt udp /usr/games/huntd
+.LP
+Do not use any of the command line options \(em if you want
+.I inetd
+to start up
+.I huntd
+on a private port, change the port listed in
+.BR /etc/services .
+.SH "NETWORK RENDEZVOUS"
+When
+.IR hunt (6)
+starts up, it broadcasts on the local area net
+(using the broadcast address for each interface) to find a
+.I hunt
+game in progress.
+If a
+.I huntd
+hears the request, it sends back the port number for the
+.I hunt
+process to connect to.
+Otherwise, the
+.I hunt
+process starts up a
+.I huntd
+on the local machine and trys to rendezvous with it.
