NAME

       mactelnetd - Telnet daemon for MAC-address connections

SYNOPSIS

       mactelnetd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  daemon  listens  for  telnet connections from Mikrotik RouterOS devices or mactelnet clients on the
       same physical network. It also announces it's hostname via the MNDP protocol every minute.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax.  A summary of options is included below.

       -n     Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure.  This means that ethernet packets will have the
              mac-address of the client as the packet destination,  instead  of  using  the  ethernet  broadcast
              address.

       -o     Use  the  older  MD5 based authentication. This is less secure, and also requires your userfile to
              have the passwords in plaintext format. If you are running the server  with  this  parameter,  you
              cannot add users using the -a option.

       -a     Add  a  new  user.  The  user  should be an existing user in your system. This can be done without
              restarting your mactelnetd server as it re-reads the user file for  each  authentication  attempt.
              You will be prompted for the username and password, or you can use one of the following options to
              specify them on the command line:

              -u username
                     You  can  specify the new username to add on the command line using this option. If this is
                     not used, you will be prompted for the username.

              -p password
                     You can specify the new password for the new user to add on the  command  line  using  this
                     option. If this is not used, you will be prompted for the password.

       -d username
              Delete the specified user.

       -l     List the available users in the /usr/local/etc/mactelnetd.users file.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -v     Show version of program.

FILES

       /usr/local/etc/mactelnetd.users
              This file contains a line separated list of users that will have access to your machine. Usernames
              and passwords are separated by colon. This file is read each time a user connects.
