10 .B "/usr/sbin/rpc.statd [-F] [-d] [-?] [-V]
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.
43 sends logging messages via
47 argument forces it to log verbose output to
49 instead. This option is mainly for debugging purposes, and may only
50 be used in conjunction with the
57 to print out command-line help and exit.
62 to print out version information and exit.
66 .SH TCP_WRAPPERS SUPPORT
69 version is protected by the
71 library. You have to give the clients access to
73 if they should be allowed to use it. To allow connects from clients of
74 the .bar.com domain you could use the following line in /etc/hosts.allow:
78 You have to use the daemon name
80 for the daemon name (even if the binary has a different name). For the
81 client names you can only use the keyword ALL or IP addresses (NOT
82 host or domain names).
