bcrelay - a broadcast relay daemon

bcrelay [OPTION]...

bcrelay simply plays as a broadcast repeater. When bcrelay receives packets from the incomming interface, it will then relay them to the outgoing interface.

-d,--daemon
Run bcrelay as a daemon.
-h,--help
Show help message.
-i,--incoming interface-in
Defines from which interface broadcasts will be read.
-s,--outgoing interface-out
Defines to which interface broadcasts will be relayed.
-n,--nolog
Disable any logging and tracing to /var/log/messages except fatal error messages.
-s,--ipsec argument
Defines an ipsec tunnel to be relayed to. Since ipsec tunnels terminate on the same interface, we need to define the broadcast address of the other end-point of the tunnel. This is done as ipsec0:x.x.x.255.
-v,--version
Show the version of bcrelay.
Log messages and debugging information go to syslog as daemon.
Interfaces can be specified as regexpressions, ie. ppp[0-9]+.

Original bcrelay program was written by Luc Richards <TheyCallMeLuc@yahoo.com.au>.

Bcrelay was modified for poptop by Richard de Vroede <r.devroede@linvision.com> and rewritten by Norbert van Bolhuis <norbert@vanbolhuis.demon.nl> for version (v1.0+) of bcrelay.
