Description

bntrackd is a simple daemon which will listen for UDP announcement packets sent by bnetd(1) servers.  The
       list  of  servers  and  their statistics is written to a text file an optionally processed by an external
       program.  A perl(1) script is provided which processes this  information  to  produce  an  HTML  document
       suitable for display on the web.

       bnetd(1)  servers  must  be  configured to report to tracking servers.  The bnetd.conf(5) file allows for
       multiple tracking servers to be listed separated  by  commas.   The  master  server  is  track.bnetd.org.
       Please consider including that server in your configuration.
