NAME
       mopd -- MOP Loader Daemon

SYNOPSIS
       mopd [-adf] [interface]

DESCRIPTION
       Mopd  services MOP Load requests	on the Ethernet	connected to interface
       or all interfaces if `-a' is given.  In a load request received by mopd
       a filename can be given.	This is	the  normal  case  for	e.g.  terminal
       servers.	 If a filename isn't given mopd	must know what image to	load.

       Upon  receiving	a request, mopd	checks if the requested	file exists in
       /tftpboot/mop, the filename is normaly uppercase	and with an  extension
       of .SYS.	 If the	filename isn't given, the ethernet address of the tar-
       get  is used as filename, e.g.  08002b09f4de.SYS	and it might be	a soft
       link to another file.

       Mopd supports two kinds of files. The first type	that is	 check	is  if
       the  file  is in	a.out(5) format. If not, a couple of Digital's formats
       are checked.

       In normal operation, mopd forks a copy of itself	and runs in the	 back-
       ground.	Anomalies and errors are reported via syslog(3).

OPTIONS
       -a      Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system.  If `-a' is
	       omitted,	an interface must be specified.

       -d      Run  in	debug mode, with all the output	to stdout. The process
	       will run	in the foreground.

       -f      Run in the foreground.

BUGS
       a.out(5)	isn't supported	yet non	bsd implementations (otherOS).

FILES
       /tftpboot/mop
