+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Bootpd
implements an Internet Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server as defined in
RFC951, RFC1532, and RFC1533.
-.I Bootpgw
+.Nm Bootpgw
implements a simple BOOTP gateway which can be used to forward
requests and responses between clients on one subnet and a
BOOTP server (i.e.
-.IR bootpd )
+.Nm Ns )
on another subnet. While either
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
or
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
will forward BOOTREPLY packets, only
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
will forward BOOTREQUEST packets.
-.PP
+.Pp
One host on each network segment is normally configured to run either
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
or
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
from
-.I inetd
+.Xr inetd 8
by including one of the following lines in the file
-.IR /etc/inetd.conf :
-.IP
-bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab
-.br
-bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpgw bootpgw server
-.PP
+.Pa /etc/inetd.conf :
+.Pp
+.Dl bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd /etc/bootptab
+.Dl bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpgw bootpgw server
+.Pp
This mode of operation is referred to as "inetd mode" and causes
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
(or
-.IR bootpgw )
+.Nm bootpgw )
to be started only when a boot request arrives. If it does not
receive another packet within fifteen minutes of the last one
it received, it will exit to conserve system resources. The
-.B \-t
+.Fl t
option controls this timeout (see OPTIONS).
-.PP
+.Pp
It is also possible to run
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
(or
-.IR bootpgw )
+.Nm bootpgw )
in "standalone mode" (without
-.IR inetd )
+.Xr inetd 8 )
by simply invoking it from a shell like any other regular command.
Standalone mode is particularly useful when
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
is used with a large configuration database, where the start up
delay might otherwise prevent timely response to client requests.
(Automatic start up in standalone mode can be done by invoking
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
from within
-.IR /etc/rc.local ,
+.Pa /etc/rc.local ,
for example.)
Standalone mode is less useful for
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
which
has very little start up delay because
it does not read a configuration file.
-.PP
+.Pp
Either program automatically detects whether it was invoked from inetd
or from a shell and automatically selects the appropriate mode.
The
-.B \-s
+.Fl s
or
-.B \-i
+.Fl i
option may be used to force standalone or inetd mode respectively
(see OPTIONS).
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.BI \-t \ timeout
-Specifies the
-.I timeout
+.Sh OPTIONS
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl t Ar timeout
+Specify the
+.Ar timeout
value (in minutes) that a
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
or
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
process will wait for a BOOTP packet before exiting.
If no packets are recieved for
-.I timeout
+.Ar timeout
minutes, then the program will exit.
A timeout value of zero means "run forever".
In standalone mode, this option is forced to zero.
-.TP
-.BI \-d \ debug\-level
-Sets the
-.I debug\-level
+.It Fl d Ar debug-level
+Set the
+.Ar debug-level
variable that controls the amount of debugging messages generated.
-For example, -d4 or -d 4 will set the debugging level to 4.
+For example,
+.Fl d Ns 4
+or
+.Fl d
+4 will set the debugging level to 4.
For compatibility with older versions of
-.IR bootpd ,
-omitting the numeric parameter (i.e. just -d) will
-simply increment the debug level by one.
-.TP
-.BI \-c \ chdir\-path
-Sets the current directory used by
-.I bootpd
+.Nm Ns ,
+omitting the numeric parameter (i.e. just
+.Fl d Ns )
+will simply increment the debug level by one.
+.It Fl c Ar chdir-path
+Set the current directory used by
+.Nm
while checking the existence and size of client boot files. This is
useful when client boot files are specified as relative pathnames, and
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
needs to use the same current directory as the TFTP server
-(typically /tftpboot). This option is not recoginzed by
-.IR bootpgw .
-.TP
-.B \-i
+(typically
+.Pa /tftpboot Ns ).

+.Nm
was compiled with the -DDEBUG flag.
-.TP

-.I bootpgw
+.It Ar server

+.Pf ( Nm bootpgw
only).
-.SH OPERATION
-.PP
+.El
+.Sh OPERATION
Both
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
and
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
operate similarly in that both listen for any packets sent to the
-.I bootps
+.Em bootps
port, and both simply forward any BOOTREPLY packets.
They differ in their handling of BOOTREQUEST packets.
-.PP
+.Pp
When
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
is started, it determines the address of a BOOTP server
whose name is provided as a command line parameter. When
-.I bootpgw
+.Nm bootpgw
receives a BOOTREQUEST packet, it sets the "gateway address"
and "hop count" fields in the packet and forwards the packet
to the BOOTP server at the address determined earlier.
Requests are forwarded only if they indicate that
the client has been waiting for at least three seconds.
-.PP
+.Pp
When
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
is started it reads a configuration file, (normally
-.IR /etc/bootptab )
+.Pa /etc/bootptab Ns )
that initializes the internal database of known clients and client
options. This internal database is reloaded
from the configuration file when
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
receives a hangup signal (SIGHUP) or when it discovers that the
configuration file has changed.
-.PP
+.Pp
When
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
receives a BOOTREQUEST packet, it
.\" checks the modification time of the
.\" configuration file and reloads the database if necessary. Then it
looks for a database entry matching the client request.
If the client is known,
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
composes a BOOTREPLY packet using the database entry found above,
and sends the reply to the client (possibly using a gateway).
If the client is unknown, the request is discarded
(with a notice if debug > 0).
-.PP
+.Pp
If
-.I bootpd
+.Nm
is compiled with the -DDEBUG option, receipt of a SIGUSR1 signal causes
it to dump its internal database to the file
-.I /tmp/bootpd.dump
+.Pa /tmp/bootpd.dump
or the dumpfile specified as a command line parameter.
-.PP
+.Pp
During initialization, both programs
determine the UDP port numbers to be used by calling
-.I getservbyname
+.Xr getservbyname 3
(which nomally uses
-.IR /etc/services).
+.Pa /etc/services Ns ).
Two service names (and port numbers) are used:
-.IP
-bootps \- BOOTP Server listening port
-.br
-bootpc \- BOOTP Client destination port
-.LP
-If the port numbers cannot
-be determined using
-.I getservbyname
+.Pp
+.Dl bootps BOOTP Server listening port
+.Dl bootpc BOOTP Client destination port
+.Pp
+If the port numbers cannot be determined using
+.Xr getservbyname 3
then the values default to bootps=67 and bootpc=68.

+.Nd Internet Bootstrap Protocol server database
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
-.I bootptab
+.Nm
file is the configuration database file for
-.IR bootpd ,
+.Xr bootpd 8 ,
the Internet Bootstrap Protocol server.
It's format is similar to that of
-.IR termcap (5)
+.Xr termcap 5
in which two-character case-sensitive tag symbols are used to
represent host parameters. These parameter declarations are separated by
colons (:), with a general format of:
-.PP
-.I " hostname:tg=value. . . :tg=value. . . :tg=value. . . ."
-.PP
+.Pp
+.Dl "hostname:tg=value. . . :tg=value. . . :tg=value. . . ."
+.Pp
where
-.I hostname
+.Em hostname
is the actual name of a bootp client (or a "dummy entry"), and
-.I tg
+.Em tg
is a two-character tag symbol. Dummy entries have an invalid hostname
(one with a "." as the first character) and are used to provide
default values used by other entries via the
-.B tc=.dummy-entry
+.Em tc=.dummy-entry
mechanism. Most tags must be followed by an equals-sign
and a value as above. Some may also appear in a boolean form with no
value (i.e.
-.RI : tg :).
+.Em :tg: Ns ).
The currently recognized tags are:
-.PP

There is also a generic tag,
-.RI T n ,
+.Pf T Em n ,
where
-.I n
+.Em n
is an RFC1084 vendor field tag number. Thus it is possible to immediately
take advantage of future extensions to RFC1084 without being forced to modify
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
first. Generic data may be represented as either a stream of hexadecimal
-numbers or as a quoted string of ASCII characters. The length of the generic
+numbers or as a quoted string of
+.Tn ASCII
+characters. The length of the generic
data is automatically determined and inserted into the proper field(s) of the
RFC1084-style bootp reply.
-.PP
+.Pp
The following tags take a whitespace-separated list of IP addresses:
-.BR cs ,
-.BR ds ,
-.BR gw ,
-.BR im ,
-.BR lg ,
-.BR lp ,
-.BR ns ,
-.BR nt ,
-.BR ra ,
-.BR rl ,
+.Em cs ,

+.Em gw ,
+.Em im ,
+.Em lg ,
+.Em lp ,
+.Em ns ,
+.Em nt ,
+.Em ra ,
+.Em rl ,
and
-.BR ts .
+.Em ts .
The
-.BR ip ,
-.BR sa ,
-.BR sw ,
-.BR sm ,
+.Em ip ,
+.Em sa ,
+.Em sw ,
+.Em sm ,
and
-.B ys
+.Em ys
tags each take a single IP address.
All IP addresses are specified in standard Internet "dot" notation
and may use decimal, octal, or hexadecimal numbers
(octal numbers begin with 0, hexadecimal numbers begin with '0x' or '0X').
Any IP addresses may alternatively be specified as a hostname, causing
-.I bootpd
-to lookup the IP address for that host name using gethostbyname(3).
+.Nm bootpd
+to lookup the IP address for that host name using
+.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
If the
-.B ip
+.Em ip
tag is not specified,
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
will determine the IP address using the entry name as the host name.
(Dummy entries use an invalid host name to avoid automatic IP lookup.)
-.PP
+.Pp
The
-.B ht
+.Em ht
tag specifies the hardware type code as either an unsigned decimal, octal, or
hexadecimal integer or one of the following symbolic names:
-.B ethernet
+.Em ethernet
or
-.B ether
+.Em ether
for 10Mb Ethernet,
-.B ethernet3
+.Em ethernet3
or
-.B ether3
+.Em ether3
for 3Mb experimental Ethernet,
-.BR ieee802 ,
-.BR tr ,
+.Em ieee802 ,
+.Em tr ,
or
-.B token-ring
+.Em token-ring
for IEEE 802 networks,
-.B pronet
+.Em pronet
for Proteon ProNET Token Ring, or
-.BR chaos ,
-.BR arcnet ,
+.Em chaos ,
+.Em arcnet ,
or
-.B ax.25
+.Em ax.25
for Chaos, ARCNET, and AX.25 Amateur Radio networks, respectively.
The
-.B ha
+.Em ha
tag takes a hardware address which may be specified as a host name
or in numeric form. Note that the numeric form
-.I must
+.Em must
be specified in hexadecimal; optional periods and/or a leading '0x' may be
included for readability. The
-.B ha
+.Em ha
tag must be preceded by the
-.B ht
+.Em ht
tag (either explicitly or implicitly; see
-.B tc
+.Em tc
below).
If the hardware address is not specified and the type is specified
as either "ethernet" or "ieee802", then
-.I bootpd
-will try to determine the hardware address using ether_hton(3).
-.PP
-The hostname, home directory, and bootfile are ASCII strings which may be
+.Nm bootpd
+will try to determine the hardware address using
+.Xr ether_hostton 3 .
+.Pp
+The hostname, home directory, and bootfile are
+.Tn ASCII
+strings which may be
optionally surrounded by double quotes ("). The client's request and the
values of the
-.B hd
+.Em hd
and
-.B bf
+.Em bf
symbols determine how the server fills in the bootfile field of the bootp
reply packet.
-.PP
+.Pp
If the client provides a file name it is left as is.
Otherwise, if the
-.B bf
+.Em bf
option is specified its value is copied into the reply packet.
If the
-.B hd
+.Em hd
option is specified as well, its value is prepended to the
boot file copied into the reply packet.
The existence of the boot file is checked only if the
-.BR bs =auto
+.Em bs Ns =auto
option is used (to determine the boot file size).
A reply may be sent whether or not the boot file exists.
-.PP
+.Pp
Some newer versions of
-.I tftpd
+.Xr tftpd 8
provide a security feature to change their root directory using
the
-.IR chroot (2)
+.Xr chroot 2
system call.
The
-.B td
+.Em td
tag may be used to inform
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
of this special root directory used by
-.IR tftpd .
+.Nm tftpd .
(One may alternatively use the
-.I bootpd
-"-c chdir" option.)
+.Nm bootpd
+.Fl c Ar chdir
+option.)
The
-.B hd
+.Em hd
tag is actually relative to the root directory specified by the
-.B td
+.Em td
tag.
For example, if the real absolute path to your BOOTP client bootfile is
-/tftpboot/bootfiles/bootimage, and
-.IR tftpd
-uses /tftpboot as its "secure" directory, then specify the following in
-.IR bootptab :
-.PP
-.br
- :td=/tftpboot:hd=/bootfiles:bf=bootimage:
-.PP
-If your bootfiles are located directly in /tftpboot, use:
-.PP
-.br
- :td=/tftpboot:hd=/:bf=bootimage:
-.PP
+.Pa /tftpboot/bootfiles/bootimage ,
+and
+.Nm tftpd
+uses
+.Pa /tftpboot
+as its "secure" directory, then specify the following in
+.Pa bootptab :
+.Pp
+.Dl :td=/tftpboot:hd=/bootfiles:bf=bootimage:
+.Pp
+If your bootfiles are located directly in
+.Pa /tftpboot ,
+use:
+.Pp
+.Dl :td=/tftpboot:hd=/:bf=bootimage:
+.Pp
The
-.B sa
+.Em sa
tag may be used to specify the IP address of the particular TFTP server
you wish the client to use. In the absence of this tag,
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
will tell the client to perform TFTP to the same machine
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
is running on.
-.PP
+.Pp
The time offset
-.B to
+.Em to
may be either a signed decimal integer specifying the client's
time zone offset in seconds from UTC, or the keyword
-.B auto
+.Em auto
which uses the server's time zone offset. Specifying the
-.B to
+.Em to
symbol as a boolean has the same effect as specifying
-.B auto
+.Em auto
as its value.
-.PP
+.Pp
The bootfile size
-.B bs
+.Em bs
may be either a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal integer specifying the size of
the bootfile in 512-octet blocks, or the keyword
-.B auto
+.Em auto
which causes the server to automatically calculate the bootfile size at each
request. As with the time offset, specifying the
-.B bs
+.Em bs
symbol as a boolean has the same effect as specifying
-.B auto
+.Em auto
as its value.
-.PP

The vendor magic cookie selector (the
-.B vm
+.Em vm
tag) may take one of the following keywords:
-.B auto
+.Em auto
(indicating that vendor information is determined by the client's request),
-.B rfc1048
+.Em rfc1048
or
-.B rfc1084
+.Em rfc1084

The
-.B hn
+.Em hn
tag is strictly a boolean tag; it does not take the usual equals-sign and
value. It's presence indicates that the hostname should be sent to RFC1084
clients.
-.I Bootpd
+.Nm Bootpd
attempts to send the entire hostname as it is specified in the configuration
file; if this will not fit into the reply packet, the name is shortened to
just the host field (up to the first period, if present) and then tried.
In no case is an arbitrarily-truncated hostname sent (if nothing reasonable
will fit, nothing is sent).

Often, many host entries share common values for certain tags (such as name
servers, etc.). Rather than repeatedly specifying these tags, a full
specification can be listed for one host entry and shared by others via the
-.B tc
+.Em tc
(table continuation) mechanism.
Often, the template entry is a dummy host which doesn't actually exist and
never sends bootp requests. This feature is similar to the
-.B tc
+.Em tc
feature of
-.IR termcap (5)
+.Xr termcap 5
for similar terminals. Note that
-.I bootpd
+.Nm bootpd
allows the
-.B tc
+.Em tc
tag symbol to appear anywhere in the host entry, unlike
-.I termcap
+.Pa termcap
which requires it to be the last tag. Information explicitly specified for a
host always overrides information implied by a
-.B tc
+.Em tc
tag symbol, regardless of its location within the entry. The
value of the
-.B tc
+.Em tc
tag may be the hostname or IP address of any host entry
previously listed in the configuration file.

Sometimes it is necessary to delete a specific tag after it has been inferred
via
-.BR tc .

This can be done using the construction

For example, to completely undo an IEN-116 name server specification, use
