BNSTAT(1) BNETD User's Manual BNSTAT(1)NAME
bnstat - Battle.net statisics client
SYNOPSIS
bnstat [options] [servername [serverport]]
DESCRIPTION
bnstat is a simple Battle.net client emulator that can be used to gather player statistics. It is also compatible with FSGS servers, but
has difficulty with real Battle.net servers.
If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed. If no serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed. If no player is specified on the
command line, bnstat(1) will connect to the server and prompt for one from stdin. All avaliable statistics for the emulated client type
are formatted and displayed on stdout.
OPTIONS -b Causes bnstat to emulate a Brood Wars client.
--client
Causes bnstat to emulate a specific client. The following client tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR STAR SSHR SEXP W2BN. There are
short options which may be used instead for the common clients.
--bnetd
Also attempt to gather bnetd(1) specific information.
-d Causes bnstat to emulate a Diablo client.
--fsgs Also attempt to gather FSGS specific information.
-h --help --usage
Print usage information and exit.
-k --cdkey
Causes bnstat to report an alternate key to the bnetd(1) server.
-o --owner
Causes bnstat to report an alternate owner to the bnetd(1) server.
-p --player
Gather statistics only for the specified player and then exit. This also avoids using login and terminal functions allowing it to
be used in shell scripts.
-s Causes bnstat to emulate a Starcraft client.
-v --version
Print its version number and exit.
-w Causes bnstat to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client.
NOTES
The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:
http://www.bnetd.org/
BUGS
This program assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line when the carriage return character (^M) is printed.
It also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one column to the left that character printed after that will replace those already
on the screen.
The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings. The following are assumed:
^H delete the character to the left of the cursor
^J accept current line
^M (return)
accept current line
^T transpose the last two characters
^W delete word to the left of the cursor
^U delete the whole input line
^[ (escape)
cancel the current input line
^? (delete)
delete the character to the left of the cursor

bnetd.conf - configuration for the Unix Battle.net daemon
DESCRIPTION
The file bnetd.conf contains information used by the Unix Battle.net daemon bnetd(1) to obtain system-specific information such as file
locations and policies.
The file consists of a list of configuration entries and comments. A comment starts with a pound (#) sign and continues to the end of the
line. Blank lines and whitespace are ignored between entries. A configuration entry is composed of two fields separated by an equals (=)
sign:
directive = value
The directive field contains the name of the configuration item you want to set to the value of value. If the value contains spaces it
should be surrounded by quotation marks ("). The value may not contain quotation marks. Multiple entries are not allowed on a single
line.
If the field is Boolean, any of true, false, yes, no, 1, or 0 may be used. If the field is numeric, it must be in base ten. If the field
is an address list, it must be delimited by commas. Each element may contain a hostname (or IP) and a port number. If a port number is
given, it must be preceded by a colon (:). A colon by itself may be used to represent the wildcard address. If the field is a file or
directory path, use of an absolute pathname is recommended. The values for iconfile, tosfile, and mpqauthfile are not pathnames but just
the names of the files. They must be in the filedir directory.
Recognized values for directive include:
filedir Specifies the path where downloadable files are stored. These files are include the TOS (terms of service), icons, and ad
banners. (Normally "files/")
userdir Specify the path where user accounts are stored. (Normally "users/")
reportdir Specify the path where game reports are stored. (Normally "reports/")
chanlogdir
Specify the path where channel logs are stored. (Normally "chanlogs/")
defacct Specify the path of the default account file. This file contains all default account attributes which are used when an
attribute is not set on an actual account. (Normally "bnetd_default_user")
motdfile Specify the path of the "message of the day" text file. This is displayed when a user enters the first chat channel.
(Normally "bnmotd.txt")
channelfile
Specify the path of the permanent channel list. (Normally "channel.list")
newsfile Specify the path of the file that is printed when the /news command is used. If no file is specified or the file doesn't
exist then the server prints "No news today" to the user. (Normally "news.txt")
adfile Specify the path of the ad banner list which determines which banners to display at which times. (Normally "ad.list")
ipbanfile Specify the path of the IP ban file which can be used to block connections from certain addresses. (Normally "bnban")
helpfile Specify the path of the chat command help file. (Normally "bnhelp")
transfile Specify the path of the game address translation file which can be used to allow players from behind a NAT firewall to
play with those outside of the firewall. (Normally "gametrans")
mpqfile Specify the path of the autoupdate MPQ archive list. It chooses which versions of which clients to update. (Normally
"autoupdate")
logfile Specifies the file where the server appends the event messages selected with the loglevels field. (Normally "bnetd.log")
pidfile Specify the path of the file where the server records its process ID. (Normally "bnetd.pid")
fortunecmd
The path for the program to be executed when /fortune is used. See fortune(6). (Normally "/usr/games/fortune")
loglevels Specify A comma-delimited list of message levels to log. The avaliable levels are:
trace flow tracing statements
debug debugging information
info potentially useful informational
warn potentially serious events
error error messages and unexpected events
fatal fatal errors
iconfile Specify the name of the BNI chat icons file which must be inside of the filedir directory. (Normally "icons.bni")
tosfile Specify the name of the TOS file which must be inside of the filedir directory. (Normally "tos.txt")
allow_autoupdate
Enable or disable to automatic client update facility. If you want to allow different client versions to connect, set
this to false. If you want to update all clients to the same version, be sure to also download the MPQ auth file, and the
update MPQ.
mpqauthfile
Specify the name of the MPQ authorization file which must be inside of the filedir directory. This file is used to deter-
mine the current client version. This is only needed if allow_autoupdate is turned on. (Normally "IX86ver1.mpq")
usersync Specify the time in seconds between account file saves. A value of 0 means to wait until shutdown to save account files
and not do do periodic updates.
userflush Specify the number of seconds of inactivity before a user is unloaded from memory (only checked during file account
updates, see usersync. After the account has been unloaded, it must be read from disk when accessed again.
latency How often to send user latency tests to the user, in seconds. These are used to decide how many "lag bars" to print next
to users in channels.
shutdown_delay
Specify the amount of time in seconds to delay shutting down the server when it receives a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal(7).
shutdown_decr
You can decrease the amount of time to wait by this value by sending another SIGTERM or SIGINT signal(7).
newaccounts
If this value is true then new accounts may be created by users on the system. Administrators can always use the /addacct
chat command.
kick_oldlogin
If this value is true then a second login by the same user will kick off the first, otherwise the second login will get
message saying that they are already logged in.
ask_new_channel
If this value is true, a user using the "Channels" button to join a non-existing channel will be asked if they wish to
create it just like Battle.net. Otherwise, the channel will be created silently.
report_all_games
If this value is true, all games with more than one player lasting for more than 5 minutes will be logged. Otherwise,
only ladder games are logged.
hide_pass_games
If this value is true, private (passworded) games will not be shown in the game list just like Battle.net. Otherwise all
games will be listed.
hide_started_games
If this value is true, games which have already stated will not be sent to the clients. The clients filter these games
out for Starcraft and Brood War already.
hide_temp_channels
If this value is true, private channels will not be shown in the channel list just like Battle.net. Otherwise all chan-
nels will be listed.
extra_commands
If this value is true then all the extended chat commands are enabled, otherwise only those which exist on Battle.net are
enabled.
disc_is_loss
If this value is true then any disconnect will be treated as a loss (regardless of the setting in ladder games).
enable_conn_all
If this value is true then all users may use the /con and /connections commands. Otherwise only administrators may use
them.
hide_addr If this value is true then IP addresses will be hidden from non-admins in the output of the /con, /games, /gameinfo, and
/netinfo commands.
chanlog If this value is true then private channels will be logged to files in the chanlogdir direcotry. The logging of public
(permanent) channels is controlled in the channelfile file.
track Set this value to 0 to disable sending updates to the tracking server. Any other number will set the number of seconds
between tracking packets. Try to use a number above 60 seconds unless you know the tracking server administrator doesn't
mind being spammed.
trackaddrs
Specify a comma-delimited list of addresses of tracking servers to send updates to. The address for the master server is
"track.bnetd.org". A port may be specified after a colon numerically or by name from /etc/services(5). If a port number
is not specified, it defaults to 6114.
location Give a description of the physical location of the server such as "San Diego, CA, USA". This is reported to the tracking
server.
description
Give a description of title or role of the server such as "Joe's Spiffy Server". This is reported to the tracking server.
url Give a URL for the homepage or contact for the server such as "http://www.foo.com/joeserv.html". This is reported to the
tracking server.
contact_name
Give the name of the contact for the server such as "Joe Blockhead". This is reported to the tracking server.
contact_email
Give the email address of the contact for the server such as "joe@foo.com". This is reported to the tracking server.
use_keepalive
If this value is set to true, the server will enable the TCP keepalive option to allow the system to detect stale connec-
tions.
servaddrs Specify the comma-delimited list of addresses the server should listen on. A port may be specified after a colon numeri-
cally or by name from /etc/services(5). If a port number is not specified, it defaults to 6112.
udptest_port
