NAME

mopd - Maintenance Operation Protocal boot daemon  

SYNOPSIS

mopd [-d ...]  

DESCRIPTION

Mopd is a server which supports the MOP boot protocol, used by DEC machines. The server responds to "Request Program" messages and provides the requested boot program. A single -d debug flag gives some debugging information; two flags give more information.

Note: the MOP protocol doesn't have any user feedback. There is no user-visible response until 10 seconds when the loaded kernel starts. If there is an error, nothing continues to happen after 10 seconds. Sometimes mopd runs into synchronization problems. In this case, the mop request should succeed if it is retried.  

AUTHOR
