NAME

pcnfsd − PC-NFS daemon

SYNOPSIS

/etc/pcnfsd [spooldir] [-l log_file]

DESCRIPTION

pcnfsd is called by Personal Computer NFS (PC-NFS) users to perform PC user authentication on HP-UX servers.  This allows a PC user to access NFS file systems with the appropriate user ID and group ID.  It also allows access to HP-UX printer facilities.  Refer to PC-NFS documentation for details on the use of the PC-NFS product. 

OPTIONS

pcnfsd recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

spooldir Use the named directory as the PC-NFS spool directory.  This directory is used by pcnfsd to hold files for printing.  The default directory is /usr/tmp. 

-l log_file Log any errors to the named log_file. pcnfsd writes its messages directly to system console /dev/console if pcnfsd is started without the -l (ell) option. 

Information logged to the file includes:

• Date and time of the error,

• Host name, process id, and name of the function generating the error, and

• Error message. 

Note that different services can share a single log file because enough information is included to uniquely identify each error.
