NSREXECD(8)                Legato NetWorker 4.1.1                NSREXECD(8)


NAME
       nsrexecd - NetWorker remote save execution server

SYNOPSIS
       nsrexecd [ -s server [ -s server ...  ]] [ -f serverfile ] [ -p
       savepath ] [ -i ]

DESCRIPTION
       nsrexecd is used by savegroup(8) to start saves on NetWorker client
       machines.  It is normally started at boot time on each NetWorker
       client machine.

       nsrexecd exports an RPC-based service to remotely execute save
       commands.  All requests must be authenticated, and can optionally be
       restricted to a specific NetWorker server.  Only save requests (e.g.
       save(8) or savefs(8)) are allowed.

       When command execution is requested, nsrexecd first verifies that the
       request is authenticated, and that it comes from a valid NetWorker
       server.  Next, nsrexecd verifies that the command is a save command
       (e.g.  save(8) or savefs(8)).  It then executes the specified command
       from the NetWorker binary directory.  This directory is normally
       determined by the location of the nsrexecd executable, but can be
       specified on the command line.

OPTIONS
       -s server
              Only allow save requests to be initiated by the given
              NetWorker server.  Multiple -s options may be given to allow
              access by several NetWorker servers.  If a NetWorker server
              has multiple network interfaces, it is often best to list the
              name of each network interface, to avoid failed saves.

       -f serverfile
              Specifies a file containing a list of NetWorker servers which
              can initiate saves.  This file should list one server name per
              line.

       -p savepath
              Tells nsrexecd to look for save commands in the savepath
              directory, rather than the default (the directory in which
              nsrexecd exists).

       -i     As part of the NetWorker server authentication, the server's
              network address is mapped to a name.  The name is then
              reverse-mapped to a network address.  The server is
              authenticated if and only if the original network address
              matches the reverse-mapped address.  The -i flag skips the
              address comparison thereby allowing work-arounds to
              misconfigured or misfeatured (i.e. Solaris) naming systems.
              This option should be used with care since it may allow the
              NetWorker client to send its data to an unauthorized machine.
