RPCAPD-CONFIG(5)              File Formats Manual             RPCAPD-CONFIG(5)

NAME
       rpcapd-config - rpcapd configuration file format

DESCRIPTION
       An rpcapd configuration file allows parameters to be set for rpcapd(8).

       A # introduces a comment that runs to the end of the line.  Blank
       lines, and lines with only a comment, are ignored.  Leading and
       trailing white space on a line are also ignored.

       Lines that set a parameter are of the form

              parameter=value

       Whitespace preceding or following the = is ignored.

       The parameters are:

       ActiveClient
              value is a host name or IP address, followed by a comma,
              semicolon, or space, followed by a port name and address or
              DEFAULT.  DEFAULT specifies the default active mode port for
              rpcapd, port 2003.  Each ActiveClient line adds the host and
              port to the list of clients to which the server should connect
              in active mode.

       PassiveClient
              value is a host name or IP address, followed by a comma,
              semicolon, or space, followed by a port name and address or
              DEFAULT.  DEFAULT specifies the default passive mode port for
              rpcapd, port 2002.  Each PassiveClient line adds the host and
              port to the list of clients addresses and ports that are allowed
              to connect to the server in passive mode.

       NullAuthPermit
              value is either YES or NO.  YES means that null authentication
              is permitted; NO means that it is not permitted.
