NAME
bnproxy - bnetd tracking daemon
SYNOPSIS
bntrackd [options]
DESCRIPTION
bntrackd is a simple daemon which will listen for UDP announcement
packets sent by bnetd(1) servers. The list of servers and their
statistics is written to a text file an optionally processed by an
external program. A perl(1) script is provided which processes this
information to produce an HTML document suitable for display on the
web.
bnetd(1) servers must be configured to report to tracking servers. The
bnetd.conf(5) file allows for multiple tracking servers to be listed
separated by commas. The master server is track.bnetd.org. Please
consider including that server in your configuration.
