NAME

       sredird - RFC 2217 serial port server

SYNOPSIS

       sredird [-i] log-level serial-device lock-file [poll-interval]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the sredird, program.

       This  program  when  run  through  inetd  will  use the RFC 2217 extensions to TELNET to implement serial
       commands over the TCP connection and interface to a specified serial port.

OPTIONS

       An optional first parameter is '-i' to enable compatability with Cisco IOS.

       The first mandatory parameter is the log level for use in syslog.  The next mandatory  parameter  is  the
       device  node  for the serial device, it must be a fully qualified path.  The final mandatory parameter is
       the file name for the lock file to be used to prevent multiple instances of sredird from talking  to  the
       serial port at the same time, or to allow sharing a port between modem and sredird.

EXAMPLE

       Here  is  a  configuration  line  for running it from inetd: sredir          stream  tcp     nowait  root
       /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sredird 5 /dev/modem /var/lock/LCK..modem
