dcd 2 DConnectDaemon dcd p2p network hub (Direct Connect from NeoModus Software ) dcd -h -v -c config_file DConnectDeamon is a hub for Direct Connect p2p network, working under *nix system. DCD runs in background as system daemon. Alternate config file can be specified using 'c' option (default is /usr/local/etc/dcd.conf). 'h' shows help screen and 'v' dumps version number. After installation, DCD would use /usr/local/etc/dcd.conf as a config file, if you haven't passed the --prefix option to the configure script. Notation in this file is as follows: option = value. Options in config file: listen_port_main Daemon's listening port. Default is 411 listen_port_cons Remote console listening port. Set 0 to disable. Default is 511 user DCD's UID. Default is daemon group DCD's GID. Default is daemon conf_welcome A text file in dcd's config directory with welcome message. This file will be played to the public chat window when users connect. Set empty if you don't want it at all. Default is dcd.welcome. conf_motd A text file in dcd's config directory with anything you want to send to users after successful registration. Set empty if you don't want it at all. Default is dcd.motd. conf_banned A text file in dcd's config directory with list of banned host. Default is dcd.banned conf_cusers A text file in dcd's config directory with administration accounts. Default is dcd.users. Each line of this file contain one account login:password:e-mail:description:permissions, where permissions are: c - access to the telnet console; a - administration account. conf_callow A text file in dcd's config directory with list of hosts allowed to access the console. Default is console.allow conf_nallow A text file in dcd's config directory with list of allowed nicks. All nicks are allowed by default. Set empty if you don't want it at all. If you want to restrict allowed nicks use pattern ex. nick.allow. DConnectDaemon has two logging parameters: log_dir Log files location. Default is /var/log/dcd log_main Main log file name. Default is dcd.log hubname Name of your hub. Default is DConnectDaemon v#.#.#. user_limit Max amount of users you allow. Default is 1000. allow_broken_key We don't yet check for a valid key, so this is ignored. allow_chat Allow public chat. On heavy loaded servers it may be a good idea to set it to "0". Default is "1" and most people will not change it. ping_timeout Disconnect client after being idle for this time (in seconds). Normally, the protocol prevents client from being idle for more than 60 secs, so setting this to 120 is safe enough and protects from `zombie' sessions. Some client implementations do not follow the 60 secs antiidle mechanism, so this is disabled by default. register_timeout Obligate client to complete its registration within this pediod (in seconds). Default is 30. min_share Minimum shared data in megabytes. Default is 300MB. min_slots Minimum number of slots. DCD is not building on RedHat, because there is only static libwrap library. We're looking someone to patch this bug. dcd.console 1 Newest version of DConnectDaemon is available on
