14 server implements the NSM (Network Status Monitor) RPC protocol.
15 This service is somewhat misnomed, since it doesn't actually provide
16 active monitoring as one might suspect; instead, NSM implements a
17 reboot notification service. It is used by the NFS file locking service,
19 to implement lock recovery when the NFS server machine crashes and
22 For each NFS client or server machine to be monitored,
26 When starting, it iterates through these files and notifies the
35 forks and puts itself in the background when started. The
37 argument tells it to remain in the foreground. This option is
38 mainly for debugging purposes.
40 .SH TCP_WRAPPERS SUPPORT

48 the .bar.com domain you could use the following line in /etc/hosts.allow:
52 You have to use the daemon name
54 for the daemon name (even if the binary has a different name). For the
55 client names you can only use the keyword ALL or IP addresses (NOT
56 host or domain names).
