Conf file

[UnveilTech]

Hi Toni,
sorry for posting here a request...

we would like to propose a new feature with the nDPId, a special argument for a .conf file instead of having all options on the command line.
we could have something like that:

• command: ./nDPId -x /etc/nDPId/nDPId.conf
• (-x or -C or whatever you think it should be fine with you)
• nDPId.conf file including options:
  interface=eth0
  logfile=/var/log/nDPId/ndpid.log
  socket=/tmp/ndpid-collector.sock or 127.0.0.1:7000
  background=yes
  protofile=/etc/nDPId/myprotos.txt
  etc...

it could also be nice to have a special compilation option (ex: -DCONF_FILE=/etc/nDPId/nDPId.conf)

do you think it makes sense to you ?

have a nice day,
Fred

I had this already in my mind. But I thought nobody would be interested in having this feature. Will do ASAP.

Toni,
it will be readable and useful :o)
then all popular products use that way with settings...

not an emmergency, just a "nice-to-have".

bye Fred
