nfsportmon(8nfs)

Name

nfsportmon - turn on or off the port monitor

Syntax

/etc/nfsportmon option

Description

The nfsportmon command turns the port monitor on or off at the kernel level. By default, the port monitor is turned off.

When the port monitor is on, NFS server port checking is activated. This checking increases system security by ensuring that file access requests were generated by the client kernel rather than by a forged application program, for example.

Only the superuser or root can run nfsportmon.

Options

onTurn on the port monitor.

offTurn off the port monitor.
