DESCRIPTION

The ggated utility is a network server for GEOM Gate class. It runs on a server machine to service GEOM Gate requests from workers placed on a client machine. Keep in mind, that connection between ggatec(8) and ggated is not encrypted.

Available options:

-a address

Specifies an IP address to bind to.

-h

Print available options.

-n

Do not use TCP_NODELAY option on TCP sockets.

-p port

Port on which ggated listens for connection. Default is 3080.

-R rcvbuf

-v

Do not fork, run in foreground and print debug informations on standard output.

exports file

An alternate location for the exports file.

The format of an exports file is as follows:

1.2.3.4  RO /dev/acd0 
1.2.3.0/24 RW /tmp/test.img 
hostname WO /tmp/image

EXIT STATUS

Exit status is 0 on success, or 1 if the command fails. To get details about the failure, ggated should be called with the -v option.

EXAMPLES

Export CD-ROM device and a file:

# echo "1.2.3.0/24 RO /dev/acd0" > /etc/gg.exports
