# The comms/conserver port

## conserver-8.2.7p2 – manage remote serial consoles via TCP/IP

## Description

    This program provides a convenient way to manage remote consoles.

    The conserver(8) daemon maintains persistent connections to consoles,
    either to a local serial port, via a network connection to a terminal
    server, via a UNIX domain socket, by running a command, or (with the
    "ipmi" flavor) via IPMI serial-over-lan. It can also write logfiles,
    and restrict access based on user/group (read, read/write, none).

    User access is done with console(1) - this allows standard terminal
    commands including sending BREAK signals, and can replay output from
    before you connected.

    By default conserver<>console connections are done via a unix-domain
    socket, but in a larger installation, the "net" flavor can be used
    to do this over a TCP+TLS connection to another host - in that case,
    conserver(8) instances on multiple servers can be clustered.

    Flavors:

    net - use network sockets for conserver<>console and to allow
    conserver<>conserver connections.

    ipmi - build with internal support for IPMI serial-over-lan
