# whosun server and client sample configuration file # Configuration entry is: "client" or "server" starting from position 1, # entry type (protocol) (must be in the same line!), and arbitrary # protocol-specific parameters. Lines starting with whitespace # are continuation lines. There is no quoting, escaping etc. # ==================== CLIENT SECTION ========================== # API functions try these protocols/addresses in order: # Connect to the server running on the same machine via a unix domain # stream socket. "port" is the name of the socket. client unix port=/var/run/whoson.s # Connect to the server running on the same machine via a unix domain # datagram socket. "port" is the name of the socket. client unixd port=/var/run/whoson.d maxtries=5 inittimeout=100000 # Connect to the server over UDP datagram protocol. Recommended method. # "address" is the IP address of the server, "port" is the port number. # ATTENTION! No DNS names allowed. This is intentional. # "maxtries" is number of retries to contact the server. # "inittimeout" is initial timeout to wait for responce, in microseconds. # Timeout is multiplied by 2 on every retry. Default maxtries is 5, # default inittimeout is 100000. client udp address=127.0.0.1 port=9876 maxtries=5 inittimeout=100000 # Connect to the server over the TCP protocol. #client tcp port=9876 # address=194.67.3.216 # There may be any number of any type entries. # Stream protocols (tcp and unix) allow for persistent connections # (if the library is built not MT-safe, i.e. without -D_REENTRANT) # ==================== SERVER SECTION ========================== # Server listens on all of these ports: # tcp and unix "keepalive" paramter is the number of seconds to keep # connection established if the client does not drop it. Default is # unlimited. "port" is the number (or name for unix domain) of the # port. "allow" and "deny" specify per-address access restriction # for Internet protocols. By default, access is denied. The value # of these keywords is /. Of matching patterns, # one with greater value of bits is applied. "listenq" is maximum # listen backlog size server tcp port=9876 listenq=5 keepalive=150 allow=127.0.0.1/24 # Allow the the whole network # deny=123.45.67.89/32 # except these .. # deny=123.45.67.90/32 # .. two machines server unix port=/var/run/whoson.s keepalive=150 listenq=5 server unixd port=/var/run/whoson.d server udp port=9876 # allow=0.0.0.0/0 # open to the world. Don't do that! # "global" pseudo server that does not listen; it is only used to set # global configuration parameters. "ttl" - how many seconds # inserted entries will live in the database if not deleted explicitely. server global ttl=600 # 10 minutes chroot=/var/lib/whosond # chdir and chroot here group=nobody # change group id and user=nobody # user id after bind()ing cachesize=100000 # max. number of entries to keep # end of config
