gspl-hostedit - edit GNUspool host table

# NAME

gspl-hostedit - edit GNUspool host table

# SYNOPSIS

gspl-hostedit [ -o file ] [ -s arg ] [ -I ] [ file ]

# DESCRIPTION

gspl-hostedit is a simple curses-based program to edit host tables for gnuspool.hosts, the host table for GNUspool.

It knows about local addresses (selecting the correct IP address for a machine with different IPs on different networks), Windows clients, DHCP, trusted hosts, manual connections, probes and timeouts.

Input is taken from standard input unless a file name is given, and output is to standard output unless the -o option is given.

Normally this would be run as follows:

            gspl-hostedit -I /usr/local/etc/gnuspool.hosts

You will usually have to stop and restart GNUspool after you have done this so that all parts of the system ``know'' about the new hosts, however this may not be necessary in all cases, you may only have to ```kill -1`'' the process id of the xtnetserv process.

# OPTIONS
