Faimond

faimond catches installation messages on port 4711 sent by the clients. The clients use natcat deliver the current status of the installation tasks like

• TASKBEGIN a task
• TASKEND a task
• TASKERROR a task
• REBOOT

Additionally, the hostname of the client is delivered.

The client needs to know the ip address of the server which is stored in the SERVER environment variable. So far, we set it by adding the line SERVER= ip address in NFS-export-path /etc/fai/fai.conf in the exported NFS environment which is essentially the /etc/fai/fai.conf of the FAI-server.

faimond can be started as a commando line.
