INETD

To run huntd from inetd(8), you'll need to add this line to /etc/inetd.conf:

Do not use any of the command line options — if you want inetd(8) to start up huntd on a private port, change the port listed in /etc/services.

NETWORK RENDEZVOUS

When hunt(6) starts up, it broadcasts on attached networks, using the broadcast or point-to-point destination address for each interface, to find a hunt game in progress. If a huntd hears the request, it sends back the port number for the hunt process to connect to.

Regardless of how huntd is started, it always checks incoming connections with hosts_access(5), using a service name of ‘huntd’.

CONFIGURATION

When huntd starts, it looks for configuration files that determine game parameters. Each line of a configuration file is of the form var = value. Comments start with a hash sign (‘#’). The configuration files loaded in order (if they exist) are: /etc/hunt.conf, $HOME/.hunt.conf, and ./.hunt.conf.

Many of these variables require intimate knowledge of the driver source code. The complete list of configurable variables is as follows.
