Netdump-server listens on the network for connections from linux kernels using the netconsole/netdump module. When such a machine crashes it contacts the netdump-server on the specified ip/port. The server then proceeds to log console messages, including the oops message, and a kernel memory dump in a specified directory, and then reboots the machine.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->lawrance Take
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks! I added the port to the sysutils and net categories, it doesn't really fit into net-mgmt. I also made a number of changes to the port so that it works correctly as a package. Hope these are OK; please contact me if you wish to reorganise the changes.
