.SH NAME
in.ivyd - super-daemon that works as a port server for the Ivy daemon

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "/usr/sbin/in.ivyd [-boot]"

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B in.ivyd
is normally not launched by users. It is the port server used by the Ivy daemon
.B ivyd
and its clients to know which port they should use to communicate. 

.B in.ivyd
is either launched by
.B inetd,
or at boot time (or manually). The latter option is 
used in the Linux distributions of the Ivy daemon.

.SH LAUNCHING FROM INETD
If you want
.B in.ivyd
to be launched by
.B inetd,
you should add the appropriate lines to
.I /etc/services
and
.I /etc/inetd.conf.

.LP
In
.I /etc/services,
you should add the following line:
.IP
in.ivyd      3006/udp                        # ivyd port server

.LP
and in
.I /etc/inetd.conf,
the following line:
.IP
in.ivyd   dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.ivyd  in.ivyd

.SH LAUNCHING MANUALLY OR AT BOOT TIME

To launch
.B in.ivyd
manually or at boot time, you must launch it with the flag
.I \-boot.

Launch at boot time is the default option in the Linux packages, which come with 
the appropriate command file to add to the boot sequence.
