.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I bootparamd
|
|
is a server process that provides information to diskless clients
|
|
necessary for booting.
|
|
It consults the
|
|
.B bootparams
|
|
database.
|
|
If the client is not found there, or if the
|
|
network information service (NIS) is not
|
|
running, then the
|
|
.I /etc/bootparams
|
|
file is consulted.
|
|
.LP

|
.I bootparamd
|
|
can be invoked either by
|
|
.IR inetd (1M)
|
|
or by the user.

|
|
.BR \-i ,
|
|
instances of
|
|
.I bootparamd
|
|
in different domains may receive a ``whoami'' broadcast, consult NIS
|
|
to find the requester's hostname by its address, receive the answer
|
|
from a different domain and reply with the wrong domain name.
