| 29 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 30 | This is the face agent under X windows. | |
| 31 | To access the image database, | |
| 32 | \fIxface\fR uses the OSI directory. | |
| 33 | .PP | |
| 34 | To map a hostname/username pair into a Distinguished Name, | |
| 35 | \fIxface\fR makes numerous searchers in the Directory, | |
| 36 | looking for any \*(lqassociatedDomain\*(rq attributes contained by | |
| 37 | organizations. | |
| 38 | Once \fIxface\fR knows where to look, | |
| 39 | it once again searches the OSI Directory for the userid in the | |
| 40 | indicated subtree, | |
| 41 | and thence retrieve the \fBphoto\fR attribute. | |
| 42 | .SH USAGE | |
| 43 | The most common use is to start \fIxface\fR in the background upon login, | |
| 44 | as in: | |
| 45 | .sp | |
| 46 | .ti +.5i | |
| 47 | xface \-e \-p 7000 \-u | |
| 48 | .sp | |
| 49 | and then have an \fIMH\fR profile entry of the form: | |
| 50 | .sp | |
| 51 | .ti +.5i | |
| 52 | faceproc: localhost 7000 | |
| 53 | .sp | |
| 54 | Alternately, | |
| 55 | one can set the environment variable \fBFACEPROC\fR and have both \fIxface\fR | |
| 56 | and \fIMH\fR intuit the necessary values: | |
| 57 | .sp | |
| 58 | .in +.5i | |
| 59 | setenv FACEPROC \*(lq`hostname` 7000\*(rq | |
| 60 | .br | |
| 61 | xface \-e \-u | |
| 62 | .in -.5i | |
| 63 | .SH OPTIONS | |
| 64 | The `\-e' option directs \fIxface\fR to not print error messages once | |
| 65 | the command line has been cracked. | |
| 66 | .PP | |
| 67 | The `\-p\0port' option tells \fIxface\fR which UDP port to listen for requests | |
| 68 | from programs like \fImhl\fR to display faces. | |
| 69 | .PP | |
| 70 | The `\-r' option directs \fIxface\fR to report on its image-related | |
| 71 | activities to the file \fBimage.log\fR in the current directory. | |
| 72 | This is useful for seeing how many hits the \fIxface\fR gets when using | |
| 73 | the Diretory. | |
| 74 | .PP | |
| 75 | The `\-s\0seconds' option tells \fIxface\fR how long to sleep prior to | |
| 76 | checking for extraordinary conditions. | |
| 77 | .PP | |
| 78 | The `\-u' option tells \fIxface\fR to run in the background, | |
| 79 | exiting when the parent process exits. | |
