NAME
     rpcd - Remote Procedure Call Daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/ncs/rpcd [ -vuf ] [protseq_list]

DESCRIPTION
     The Remote Procedure Call Daemon (rpcd) is a process that provides the
     Endpoint Map Service for the local host. For backward compatibility, rpcd
     also manages the Local Location Broker (LLB) database that was previously
     managed by the NCS 1.5.1 Local Location Broker daemon (llbd).

     Any host with NCS 2.0 that runs NCS servers must run rpcd. You must start
     rpcd before starting any other NCS servers.  Typically, rpcd is started
     at boot time via an entry in an /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local file.

     By default, rpcd listens on one well-known port for each RPC protocol
     sequence (that is, each combination of an RPC protocol and a transport
     protocol) supported by the host on which it is running.  The optional
     protseq_list argument lets you limit the protocol sequences that rpcd
     listens on only those protocol sequences that you specify.

     The rpcd supercedes the NCS 1.5.1 llbd; NCS 2.0 platforms must run rpcd
     instead of llbd.

     Only a single rpcd can run on a host.  The rpcd process must run with
     superuser privileges since it typically listens on privileged or reserved
     network ports.

OPTIONS
     -v        Prints the rpcd version and exits.

     -u        Prints the rpcd usage and exits.

     -f        Starts the rpcd process in the foreground. The default is for
               rpcd to run in the background - that is, to fork and have the
               parent exit.

     protseq_list
               A list of the RPC protocol sequences on which an rpcd listens.
               Use a protocol list only if you are creating a special
               configuration where access to an endpoint map is restricted to
               a subset of hosts in the network or internet.  NCS 2.0 is
               designed to support the following protocols:  ncadg_ip_udp,
               ncadg_dds, and ncacn_ip_tcp, although not all protocols are
               supported on all platforms. See your system release notes for
               information on the protocols supported by your system.  A
               complete list of the protocol sequences recognized by the
               Endpoint Map Service can be found in /usr/include/dce/ep.idl.
