       building an iSCSI storage system on Linux.

OPTIONS

       -c filename, --config=filename
              Specify configuration file, default is /etc/ietd.conf

       -d debuglevel, --debug=debuglevel
              Turns on debugging. Logging goes to /var/log/syslog via syslog(1).

       -f, --foreground
              Act as a normal application which uses a console.

       -g GID, --gid=GID
              Specify running group id, default is current gid.

       -a address, --address=address
              Specify on which local address the server should listen, default is any.

       -p port, --port=port
              Specify on which port the server should listen, default is 3260.

       -h, --help
              Display help message on command line options.

       -u UID, --uid=UID
              Specify running user id, default is current uid.

FILES

       /etc/ietd.conf
              The system wide configuration file. See  ietd.conf(5) for further details.

KNOWN ISSUES

       Task attributes is  incomplete  (all  tasks  are  treated  as  if  they  have  the  SIMPLE
       attribute.)

       SCSI task management is incomplete.

       NOP-In is incomplete.

       The target never sends a NOP-In of its own accord.

       Header and Data Digest in a discovery session are not implemented.

       Out-of-memory  situation  leads  to  the  system crash (There are still some out-of-memory
       bugs.)
