.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm rwhod
|
|
.Op Fl i
|
|
.Op Fl p
|
|
.Op Fl l
|
|
.Op Fl m Op Ar ttl

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Rwhod
|
|
is the server which maintains the database used by the
|
|
.Xr rwho 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ruptime 1
|
|
programs. Its operation is predicated on the ability to
|
|
.Em broadcast
|
|
or
|
|
.Em multicast
|
|
messages on a network.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Rwhod
|
|
operates as both a producer and consumer of status information,
|
|
unless the
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
(listen mode) option is specified, in which case
|
|
it acts as a consumer only.
|
|
As a producer of information it periodically
|
|
queries the state of the system and constructs
|
|
status messages which are broadcasted or multicasted on a network.
|
|
As a consumer of information, it listens for other
|
|
.Nm
|
|
servers' status messages, validating them, then recording
|
|
them in a collection of files located in the directory
|
|
.Pa /var/rwho .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
option enables insecure mode, which causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to ignore the source port on incoming packets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to ignore all
|
|
.Dv POINTOPOINT
|
|
interfaces. This is useful if you do not wish to keep dial on demand
|
|
interfaces permanently active.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
option enables listen mode, which causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to not broadcast any information.
|
|
This allows you to monitor other machines'
|
|
.Nm
|
|
information, without broadcasting your own.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to use IP multicast (instead of
|
|
broadcast) on all interfaces that have
|
|
the IFF_MULTICAST flag set in their "ifnet" structs
|
|
(excluding the loopback interface). The multicast
|
|
reports are sent with a time-to-live of 1, to prevent
|
|
forwarding beyond the directly-connected subnet(s).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the optional
|
|
.Ar ttl
|
|
argument is supplied with the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
flag,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will send IP multicast datagrams with a
|
|
time-to-live of
|
|
.Ar ttl ,
|
|
via a SINGLE interface rather
|
|
than all interfaces.
|
|
.Ar ttl
|
|
must be between 0 and
|
|
32 (or MAX_MULTICAST_SCOPE). Note that
|
|
.Fl m Ar 1
|
|
is different than
|
|
.Fl m ,
|
|
in that
|
|
.Fl m Ar 1
|
|
specifies transmission on one interface only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
is used without a
|
|
.Ar ttl
|
|
argument, the program accepts multicast
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reports from all multicast-capable interfaces. If a
|
|
.Ar ttl
|
|
argument is given, it accepts multicast reports from only one interface, the
|
|
one on which reports are sent (which may be controlled via the host's routing
|
|
table). Regardless of the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option, the program accepts broadcast or
|
|
unicast reports from all interfaces. Thus, this program will hear the
|
|
reports of old, non-multicasting
|
|
.Nm rwhod Ns s ,
|
|
but, if multicasting is used,
|
|
those old
|
|
.Nm rwhod Ns s
|
|
won't hear the reports generated by this program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The server transmits and receives messages at the port indicated
|
|
in the ``who'' service specification; see
|
|
.Xr services 5 .
|
|
The messages sent and received, are of the form:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct outmp {
|
|
char out_line[8]; /* tty name */
|
|
char out_name[8]; /* user id */
|
|
long out_time; /* time on */
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
struct whod {
|
|
char wd_vers;
|
|
char wd_type;
|
|
char wd_fill[2];
|
|
int wd_sendtime;
|
|
int wd_recvtime;
|
|
char wd_hostname[32];
|
|
int wd_loadav[3];
|
|
int wd_boottime;
|
|
struct whoent {
|
|
struct outmp we_utmp;
|
|
int we_idle;
|
|
} wd_we[1024 / sizeof (struct whoent)];
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All fields are converted to network byte order prior to
|
|
transmission. The load averages are as calculated by the
|
|
.Xr w 1
|
|
program, and represent load averages over the 5, 10, and 15 minute
|
|
intervals prior to a server's transmission; they are multiplied by 100
|
|
for representation in an integer. The host name
|
|
included is that returned by the
|
|
.Xr gethostname 3
|
|
system call, with any trailing domain name omitted.
|
|
The array at the end of the message contains information about
|
|
the users logged in to the sending machine. This information
|
|
includes the contents of the
|
|
.Xr utmp 5
|
|
entry for each non-idle terminal line and a value indicating the
|
|
time in seconds since a character was last received on the terminal line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Messages received by the
|
|
.Nm rwho
|
|
server are discarded unless they originated at an
|
|
.Nm rwho
|
|
server's port or the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
option was specified. In addition, if the host's name, as specified
|
|
in the message, contains any unprintable
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
characters, the
|
|
message is discarded. Valid messages received by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
are placed in files named
|
|
.Pa whod.hostname
|
|
in the directory
|
|
.Pa /var/rwho .
|
|
These files contain only the most recent message, in the
|
|
format described above.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Status messages are generated approximately once every
|
|
3 minutes.
|
|
.Nm Rwhod
|
|
performs an
|
|
.Xr nlist 3
|
|
on
|
|
.Pa /kernel
|
|
every 30 minutes to guard against
|
|
the possibility that this file is not the system
|
|
image currently operating.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Status information should be sent only upon request rather than continuously.
|
|
People often interpret the server dying
|
|
or network communication failures
|
|
as a machine going down.
