- Part of the Wide Area Information Server system.
-
- waisserver will take WAIS requests from a TCP port or
- standard-io and return the appropriate response. If the
- name of the command is waisserver.d, then it is assumed it
- is running from inetd, and it uses stdio for its I/O
- sockets. See the examples below for inetd.conf.
-
- In addition, waisserver can act like an anonymous FTP
- server. When the server is given a document of type "FTP"
- as a relevant document, it will build a result list from the
- directory of the file. Subdirectories may be listed using
- by adding them to the relevant document list.
-
- Note that a minimal level of security is present in two
- forms:
-
- 1. The server will never present directories above the
- default server directory (-d option, described below).
-
- 2. The server will only build a directory listing from a
- file of type FTP, and that file must be in the specified
- database.
-
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- ----pppp [ _p_o_r_t ]
- Listen to the port. If the port is supplied, then
- that port number is used. If it is not supplied
- then the Z39.50 port (210) is used.
-
- ----ssss listen to standard I/O for queries.
-
- ----dddd _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y
- Use this directory as the default location of the
- indexes. Therefore if the directory were
- /usr/local, then the database foo would be found
- in /usr/local/foo (see waisindex for how to create
- an index)

- ----eeee [ _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ]
- Redirect error output to pathname, if supplied, or
- to /dev/null. Error output defaults to stderr,
- unless -s is selected, in which case it defaults
- to /dev/null.
-
- ----llll _l_o_g__l_e_v_e_l
- set logging level. Currently only levels 0, 1, 5
- and 10 are meaningful: Level 0 means log nothing
- (silent). Level 1 logs only errors and warnings
- (messages of HIGH priority), level 5 logs messages
- of MEDIUM priority (like client init info). Level
- 10 logs everything.
-
- ----uuuu _u_s_e_r Set the server's user id to the user specified
- after attaching the tcp-port. This is only used if
- the server is started as root.
-
- ----vvvv Print the current version and date of the server.

- The following are examples of _w_a_i_s_s_e_r_v_e_r usage:
-
- waisserver -p 8000 -d wais-sources -e server.log
- Runs waisserver as a standalone server, using tcp port
- 8000 on directory wais-sources writing messages to
- server.log
-
- Some example inetd.conf entries (note, these must be on one
- line in inted.conf):
-
- hpux 7.0/800, Interactive/386 2.2.1:
-
- z3950 stream tcp nowait root /etc/waisserver waisserver.d
- -d /wais-sources -e /server.log
-
- Ultrix 4.1:
-
- z3950 stream tcp nowait /etc/waisserver waisserver.d
- -d /wais-sources -e /server.log
-
- Also, add the next line to /etc/services, and tickle your YP
- server:
-
- z3950 210/tcp # wide area information server (wais)

- The diagnostics produced by the waisserver are meant to be
- self-explanatory.
-
- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
- Malformed protocol packets can cause the server to dump core
- (segmentation violation). These are logged in the server's
- log file.
