Detailed Description

reads configuration file

Author:

Michael Moritz

The configuration file has this syntax:

 prefix_key=value

prefix is used to group values and keys, it can be empty. For example:

 dbtype=mysql
 db_host=localhost
 db_username=greylist

Currently the following prefixes and keys are recognised:

• mode: the operational mode of gps!

  Warning:

  Set this explicitly to anything different from init if you want gps to return anything other than action=dunno. Using mode=normal is recommended for the future. Default: init

• dbtype: specify the database backend type for DBI this requires the selected DBD driver installed This has so far only been tested with mysql. Default: mysql
• timeout:timeout in seconds before a triplet is moved to registered state RecordStatus. Default: 3600
• db_*: database parameters passed to DBI. With mysql this group consists of [example value]:

   db_host=[localhost]
   db_username=[greylist]
   db_password=[secret]
   db_dbname=[greylist]
