RRLOGIND(8)                                           RRLOGIND(8)

NNAAMMEE\
        rrlogind  -  Road Runner Login Daemon. A suitable replace-\
        ment for it's Perl counterpart.

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS\
        rrrrllooggiinndd \[\[--pp \<\<ppoorrtt\>\>\]\] \[\[--vv\]\] \[\[--kk\]\] \[\[--dd\]\] \[\[--tt\]\]

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN\
        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.

CCHHAANNGGEESS\
        \_v\_1\_.\_0 - Initial Release 11/30/1998\
               A very buggy alpha version of the client

       \_v\_1\_.\_1 - Major Bug Fix and 1st Official Release 12/03/1998\
               Fixed keep-alive support.\
               Finished implementing the protocol specs.

       \_v\_1\_.\_2 - Bug Fixes 12/14/1998, Feature Additions\
               Fixed a small bug in the client state loop.\
               Changed  all  the  syslog  messages  to  report  as\
                  LOG\_INFO (Now only logs to messages  instead  of\
                  all error conditions being sent to syslog.)\
               Altered  listener  code  to  also  work under 2.1.x\
                  kernels.\
               Added "Always Trust" parameter  to  compensate  for\
                  some non-spec-compliant auth servers.\
               Added broken-session detection code.

       \_v\_1\_.\_3 - Bug Fixes 01/17/1999, Feature Additions\
                Fixed  segmentation  fault  when  username was not\
                  specified.

RRLOGIND(8)                                           RRLOGIND(8)

              Fixed segmentation fault caused by a  null  session\
                  server list.\
               Moved  call  to  open syslog prior to the first use\
                  of syslog.\
               Fixed rrooaaddrruunnnneerr..hh for other flavors of \_U\_N\_I\_X\_.\
               Improved signal handling.\
               rrlogind  now  deals  with  hostnames   that   have\
                  multiple IPs\
               Added automatic detection of OS and OS version.

       \_v\_2\_.\_0 - Feature Additions/Modifications 01/27/1999\
               Added  an  \_a\_u\_t\_o\_b\_u\_i\_l\_d script that will attempt to do\
                  everything for you.\
               Removed username, password, and login  server  from\
                  the command line and added a configuration file.\
               Included  Makefiles  for  those  using  RISC  based\
                  systems.  Using \_a\_u\_t\_o\_b\_u\_i\_l\_d will automatically use\
                  the new Makefiles.\
               Password is no longer stored  in  plain  text,  but\
                  rather an irreversible MD5 hash.

       \_v\_2\_.\_1 - Official Release of the 2.x series 02/26/1999\
               Fixed a small memory leak.\
               Fixed a problem with the RISC Makefile.

       \_v\_2\_.\_2 - Bug Fixes, updated rrdhcpcd 04/16/1999\
               Fixed small bug in logout logic.\
               Fixed a bug in rrdhcpcd 2 which caused an incorrect \
                assignment of the subnet mask when obtaining a \
                24\.x.x.x IP.

       \_v\_2\_.\_2\_1 - Bug Fixes, updated rrdhcpcd\
               Fixes small bug in the logout logic.\
               Added "clean" option to the autobuild script.\
               Fixed rrdhcpcd to work with Red Hat 5.9

FFIILLEESS\
        \_r\_r\_c\_o\_n\_f\
             Creates  a  file  in  \_/\_e\_t\_c\_/\_r\_o\_a\_d\_r\_u\_n\_n\_e\_r  to  store your\
             username,  password,  login  server   in   MD5   hash\
             (irreversible).

        As  of v1.1 the source code for rrlogind has been included\
        along with the source code for rrdhcpcd.  The  source  for\
        rrlogind  also comes with a Makefile for both GNU make and\
        RHIDE, and has been tested with both Slackware and  RedHat\
        systems.
