RPM package of DRACd
--------------------

DRACd version      : 1.11
rpm package release: 6rm
Release date       : Mon Jul 16 2001

1. Packaging

   The package was built and tested in a Red Hat Linux 6.2 system 
   with every relevant official errata published by Red Hat applied. 
   The version of rpm used is 3.0.5 (more specifically, the version of 
   official errata 
   http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-2000-051.html, note that 
   I'm not yet using the recently published official update of rpm to 
   version 4.0.2).

   IMPORTANT: It is recommended to download the source rpm and 
              rebuild it with:

              # rpm --rebuild <dracd-x.x.x-x.src.rpm>

              This is specially true if you are going to use it under 
	      RHL 7 or 7.1.
     
   The package is GPG signed. You can download My GPG public key 
   from:

     http://rmrpms.tripod.com/RM-GPG-KEY
     
   or from

2. Configuration

   The initscript has been modified to allow configuration of the
   server using a file that is preserved between updates of the 
   package.
   
   The file is /etc/sysconfig/drac, and the two parameters you can set
   are:

   EXPIRE_TIME: Specifies the expire time limit (the number of minutes
	the entries will remain in the database).

   DBFILE: Specifies the db file where the relay authorization map 
	is maintained (seldom changed from the default value).

   Example (and default values in the file installed by the rpm 
   package):

   EXPIRE_TIME=30
   DBFILE=/etc/mail/dracd.db

   NOTE: Remember to restart the DRAC daemon after modifying 
	/etc/sysconfig/drac

3. To do list

   - Try to write some lines about security implications of using 
     portmap and how to to tight the configuration to minimize them.

4. Feedback

   Please send any comments, rants, bug-reports, etc. about the 
   package or this file to rmrpms at usa dot net.
