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  target  is
     used as filename, e.g.  08002b09f4de.SYS and it might be a soft link to an-
     other 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
