bnproxy - bnetd tracking daemon

bntrackd [options]

bntrackd is a simple daemon which will listen for UDP announcement packets sent by bnetd(1) servers. The list of servers and their statistics is written to a text file an optionally processed by an external program. A perl(1) script is provided which processes this information to produce an HTML document suitable for display on the web.

bnetd(1) servers must be configured to report to tracking servers. The bnetd.conf(5) file allows for multiple tracking servers to be listed separated by commas. The master server is track.bnetd.org. Please consider including that server in your configuration.
