This is similar to running it under the control of .Xr inetd 8 (see below), but it consumes a process table entry when no one is playing, and monitor clients are not disconnected. .Pp The .Fl p Ar port option changes the UDP port number used to rendezvous with the player process and thus allows for private games of .Xr hunt 6 . .Pp The .Fl a Ar addr option is used to cause the server to listen only on a specific interface address. The .Ar addr argument must be given as an IP address. .Pp Options given with .Fl D override those read from configuration files (see .Sx CONFIGURATION , below). .Ss INETD To run .Nm from .Xr inetd 8 , you'll need to add this line to .Pa /etc/inetd.conf : .Pp .Dl hunt dgram udp wait nobody /usr/games/huntd HUNT .Pp Do not use any of the command line options \(em if you want .Xr inetd 8 to start up .Nm huntd on a private port, change the port listed in .Pa /etc/services . .Ss "NETWORK RENDEZVOUS" When .Xr hunt 6 starts up, it broadcasts on attached networks (using the broadcast or point-to-point destination address for each interface) to find a .Nm hunt game in progress. If a .Nm huntd hears the request, it sends back the port number for the .Nm hunt process to connect to. .Pp Regardless of how .Nm is started, it always checks incoming connections with .Xr host_access 5 , using a service name of .Sq huntd . .Ss "CONFIGURATION" When .Nm starts, it looks for configuration files that determine game parameters. Each line of a configuration file is of the form .Ar var No = Ar value . Comments start with a hash sign (`#'). The configuration files loaded in order (if they exist) are: .Pa /etc/hunt.conf , .Pa "$HOME/.hunt.conf" , and .Pa ./.hunt.conf . .Pp Many of these variables require intimate knowledge of the driver source code.
