11 .B "/usr/sbin/rpc.statd [-F] [-d] [-?] [-V]
15 server implements the NSM (Network Status Monitor) RPC protocol.
16 This service is somewhat misnomed, since it doesn't actually provide
17 active monitoring as one might suspect; instead, NSM implements a
18 reboot notification service. It is used by the NFS file locking service,
20 to implement lock recovery when the NFS server machine crashes and
23 For each NFS client or server machine to be monitored,
27 When starting, it iterates through these files and notifies the
36 forks and puts itself in the background when started. The
38 argument tells it to remain in the foreground. This option is
39 mainly for debugging purposes.
44 sends logging messages via
48 argument forces it to log verbose output to
50 instead. This option is mainly for debugging purposes, and may only
51 be used in conjunction with the
58 to print out command-line help and exit.
63 to print out version information and exit.
67 .SH TCP_WRAPPERS SUPPORT
70 version is protected by the
72 library. You have to give the clients access to
74 if they should be allowed to use it. To allow connects from clients of
75 the .bar.com domain you could use the following line in /etc/hosts.allow:
79 You have to use the daemon name
81 for the daemon name (even if the binary has a different name). For the
82 client names you can only use the keyword ALL or IP addresses (NOT
83 host or domain names).
