kdumpd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual kdumpd(8)
NAME
kdumpd -- Mac OS X remote kernel core dump server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/kdumpd [directory]
DESCRIPTION
Kdumpd is a server which receives kernel states in the form of a core
dump from a remote Mac OS X machine. The kdumpd server operates on UDP
port 1069, although this may be configurable in the future. The server
should be started by inetd(8).
The server should have the user ID with the lowest possible privilege,
usually the user "nobody". The directory specified as a server program
argument in /etc/inetd.conf directs the server to store kernel cores in
that directory and nowhere else. The server returns an EEXIST error to
the remote kernel if it receives a request for an existing file - i.e.
only new files can be created. The server also disallows path specifica-
tions in the incoming file name.
HISTORY
The kdumpd command is based on Berkeley tftpd(8) by way of FreeBSD, with
several modifications.
