# ax25d(8)

General purpose AX.25, NET/ROM and Rose daemon

## NAME

ax25d - General purpose AX.25, NET/ROM and Rose daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**ax25d \[-v\] \[-c altconffile\] \[-l\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Ax25d** is a general purpose server daemon that listens on a number of AX.25, NET/ROM and Rose ports and offers different services depending upon port, callsign and other parameters. **Ax25d** is driven by a complex configuration file, a full description of which may be found in another manual page.

**AX25d** has the facility to log information about incoming connections to the system log file. By default no logging is done. When **ax25d** is running, and a change in the configuration file is made, **ax25d** can be forced to re-read its configuration file by sending it a SIGHUP.

## OPTIONS

- **-c altconffile**

  Specifies an alternate configuration file name.

- **-l**

  Specifies that messages should be logged into the system log file. By default no messages are logged.

- **-v**

  Display the version.

## FILES
