DB(6)

NAME

db − connection service database

SYNOPSIS

/services/cs/db

DESCRIPTION

The connection service database file is read by the connection server cs(8), when it receives a request using a machine name of the form $service. 

The file consists of a two column list (separated by whitespace) of the form:

$servicehostname

If the hostname is a logical network name, the connection server subsequently converts it to a network address (eg, from domain name to Internet address) before replying to its client. 

Blank lines and comments (lines beginning with #) are ignored. 

Cs takes care to update any name cache it maintains if it sees that the file has changed since it was last read (based on its modification time). 

EXAMPLE

$SIGNER
doppio

$FILESERVER
dispensa

$MAILSERVER
doppio
