NAME
     llbd - Local Location Broker Daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/ncs/llbd [ -version ] [ -listen family_list ]

DESCRIPTION
     The Local Location Broker daemon (llbd) is part of the Network Computing
     System (NCS).  It manages the Local Location Broker (LLB) database, which
     stores information about NCS-based server programs running on the local
     host.

     Run llbd on any host with NCS 1.5.1 that runs NCS-based servers.  You
     should start llbd before any such servers are started.  A host must also
     run llbd if it is to support the Location Broker forwarding function or
     to allow remote access (for example, by the lb_admin tool) to the LLB
     database.

     In addition to the llbd, any network or internet supporting NCS activity
     should have at least one host running a Global Location Broker daemon
     (glbd).

     See Managing NCS Software for information about starting llbd.

     You use llbd only on systems with NCS 1.5.1. On systems with NCS 2.0, the
     rpcd local location daemon supersedes llbd.  Therefore, you run rpcd on
     NCS 2.0 systems instead of llbd.

OPTIONS
     -listen family_list
          This option restricts the address families on which an LLB listens.
          Use it only if you are creating a special configuration where access
          to an LLB is restricted to a subset of hosts in the network or
          internet.

          The family_list is a list of the address families on which the LLB
          will listen.  Names in this list are separated by spaces.  Possible
          family names include dds and ip.

          If llbd is started without the -listen option, the LLB will listen
          on all address families that are supported both by NCS and by the
          local host.  On Domain/OS systems, this set of families always
          includes dds and may also include ip.  On most other systems, ip is
          currently the only family.

     -version
          Display the version of NCK that this llbd belongs to, but do not
          start the daemon.
