NAME
       mactelnetd - Telnet daemon for MAC-address connections

SYNOPSIS
       mactelnetd [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This  daemon  listens for telnet	connections from Mikrotik RouterOS de-
       vices or	mactelnet clients on the same physical network.	 It  also  an-
       nounces it's hostname via the MNDP protocol every minute.

OPTIONS
       These  programs follow the usual	GNU command line syntax.  A summary of
       options is included below.

       -n     Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure.   This	 means
	      that ethernet packets will have the mac-address of the client as
	      the  packet destination, instead of using	the ethernet broadcast
	      address.

       -o     Use the older MD5	based authentication. This is less secure, and
	      also requires your userfile to have the passwords	 in  plaintext
	      format.  If  you are running the server with this	parameter, you
	      cannot add users using the -a option.

       -a     Add a new	user. The user should be an existing user in your sys-
	      tem. This	can be done without restarting your mactelnetd	server
	      as  it  re-reads	the user file for each authentication attempt.
	      You will be prompted for the username and	password, or  you  can
	      use  one of the following	options	to specify them	on the command
	      line:

	      -u username
		     You can specify the new username to add  on  the  command
		     line  using this option. If this is not used, you will be
		     prompted for the username.

	      -p password
		     You can specify the new password for the new user to  add
		     on	 the  command  line  using this	option.	If this	is not
		     used, you will be prompted	for the	password.

       -d username
	      Delete the specified user.

       -l     List the available users in the  /usr/local/etc/mactelnetd.users
	      file.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -v     Show version of program.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/mactelnetd.users
	      This file	contains a line	separated list of users	that will have
	      access to	your machine. Usernames	and passwords are separated by
	      colon. This file is read each time a user	connects.
