rrrrllooggiinndd is for use in those areas that are using the
"Road Runner Client Server Session Management Protocol".
These areas include, but are not limited to: North Eastern
Ohio, Columbus Ohio, Austin Texas, Hawaii, Tampa Bay Fla,
and Charlotte NC.
This daemon is designed to replace the _r_r_l_o_g_i_n Perl
script. It implements the entire _S_e_s_s_i_o_n _M_a_n_a_g_e_r _P_r_o_t_o_c_o_l_,
instead of just the login portion.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
_-_p _<_p_o_r_t_> Used to change the default (60000) port
number to communicate with for the
login server.
_-_v Turns on verbose mode.
_-_d Turns on debugging mode.
_-_k Kills any running instance of rrrrllooggiinndd or
removes the stale pid file.
_-_t Always trust the server to be authentic.
