.TH IPMI_PORT 8 "Version 1.0: 14 Apr 2010"
.SH NAME
ipmi_port \- a daemon to bind RMCP port 623 to prevent portmap from using it
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "ipmi_port [-bx]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This
.I ipmi_port
service starts and binds port 623, then sleeps forever, so that the portmap
service will not try to reuse port 623, which it otherwise might try to do.
Since the IPMI firmware snoops the NIC channel and grabs any traffic destined
for RMCP port 623, any application in the OS which tried to use port 623
would fail.
.SH OPTIONS
Command line options are described below.
.IP "-b"
Background mode. Convert to a daemon and run in background.
Without specifying this option, ipmi_port will run in foreground.
.IP "-x"
Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed.
