38.Sh NAME
39.Nm kdumpd
40.Nd Mac OS X remote kernel core dump server
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm /usr/libexec/kdumpd
43.Op Ar directory
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Nm Kdumpd
46is a server which receives
47kernel states in the form of
48a core dump from a remote
49Mac OS X machine.
50The
51.Tn kdumpd
52server operates
53on UDP port 1069, although this
54may be configurable in the future.
55The server should be started by
56.Xr inetd 8 .
57.Pp
58The server should have the user ID
59with the lowest possible privilege,
60usually the user "nobody".
61The directory specified as a server
62program argument in
63.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
64directs the server to store kernel cores
65in that directory and nowhere else.
66The server returns an EEXIST error
67to the remote kernel if it receives a
68request for an existing file - i.e.
69only new files can be created. The server
70also disallows path specifications in the
71incoming file name.
72.Sh HISTORY
73The
74.Nm
75command is based on Berkeley
76.Xr tftpd 8
77by way of FreeBSD, with several modifications.
