# irnetd(4)

Handle automatically incoming IrNET connections

## NAME

irnetd - Handle automatically incoming IrNET connections

## SYNOPSIS

**irnetd \[***ppp-options***\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Irnetd** is a very simple daemon automatically handling *incoming IrNET connections*. Every time a peer attempt to connect to the local computer, **irnetd** generates the relevant [*pppd*(8)](/pppd/8.md) command to starts an IrNET server handling this peer.

## PARAMETERS

- *ppp-options*

  Override the default [*pppd*(8)](/pppd/8.md) options. These options will just be passed on the command line of [*pppd*(8)](/pppd/8.md). The default options are  *"noauth nolock connect-delay 0 idle 10"* which should fit most usages.
