Short:        Gopher Daemon
Author:       Sean MacLennan <headgopher@seanm.ca>
Uploader:     Diego Casorran <dcr8520 amiga org>
Type:         comm/tcp
Version:      0.27
Requires:     ixemul.library
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

WHAT IS THIS?
-------------

Gofish is my attempt to boost the performance of the current
gopherds. However, I do have some design goals. I am running GoFish on
my 'Winder <http://seanm.ca/>. While it is a great machine, it is not
the most powerful machine in the world.

Design Goals
------------

 1) Secure. I do not plan on letting the server run executables.

 2) Fast. At least as fast as a web server. I am using thttpd as my
    benchmark.

 3) Low resource usage. Single process.

 4) Simple. The daemon will only serve files. Directory listings will
    be read from the .cache files verbatim. I think this is an
    important decision. It gives maximum flexibility to the
    users. They can go from the exteme of writing all the cache files
    by hand, to having some form of custom, fully automated file
    insertion program. I plan on providing one such program called
    `mkcache', but it will not be required.


WHERE CAN I GET IT?
-------------------

GoFish is hosted on SourceForge. Go to the project page
<http://gofish.sourceforge.net>  and follow the instructions.


CURRENT ASSUMPTIONS
-------------------

I am currently using the Linux mmap(2) call to write out the
files. Because of this, I do not process the files. The following
assumption must hold:

  Files must not have any lines containing only a ".".

There is a script called check-files that will verify that the above
is true. If you have changed the GOPHER_ROOT, you must change it in
the check-files script also.


LOG ROTATION
------------

GoFish supports log rotation. Move the log to a new name. Then send a
USR1 signal to GoFish. It will close the old log and create a new
file. No log entries will be lost. After the signal, the old log
should be up to date.

Example: (note that kill line uses backwards ticks, not single quotes)

	mv /var/log/gopherd.log /var/log/gopherd.log.1
	kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/gopherd.pid`
