RFSTART(1M) (Remote File Sharing Utilities) RFSTART(1M)
NAME
rfstart - start Remote File Sharing
SYNOPSIS
rfstart [-v] [-pprimary_addr]
DESCRIPTION
rfstart starts Remote File Sharing and defines an
authentication level for incoming requests. (This command
can only be used after the domain name server is set up and
your computer's domain name and network specification has
been defined using dname(1M).)
-v Specifies that verification of all clients is
required in response to initial incoming mount
requests; any host not in the file
/usr/nserve/auth.info/domain/passwd for the domain
they belong to, will not be allowed to mount
resources from your host.. If -v is not specified,
hosts named in domain/passwd will be verified, other
hosts will be allowed to connect without
verification.
-p primary_addr
Indicates the primary domain name server for your
domain. primary_addr must be the network address of
the primary name server for your domain. If the -p
option is not specified, the address of the domain
name server is taken from the rfmaster file. (See
rfmaster(1M) for a description of the valid address
syntax.)
If the host password has not been set, rfstart will prompt
for a password; the password prompting process must match
the password entered for your machine at the primary domain
name server (see rfadmin(1M)). if you remove the loc.passwd
file or change domains, you will also have to reenter the
password.
Also, when rfstart is run on a domain name server, entries

in the rfmaster(4) file are syntactically validated.
This command is restricted to the super-user.
ERRORS
If syntax errors are found in validating the rfmaster(4)
file, a warning describing each error will be sent to
standard error.
If (1) the shared resource environment is already running,
(2) there is no communications network, (3) the domain name
server cannot be found, (4) the domain name server does not
recognize the machine, or (5) the command is run without
super-user privileges, an error message will be sent to
standard error.
Remote file sharing will not start if the host password in
/usr/nserve/loc.passwd is corrupted. If you suspect this
has happened, remove the file and run rfstart again to
reenter your password.
NOTE: rfstart will NOT fail if your host password does not
match the password on the domain name server. You will
simply receive a warning message. However, if you try to
mount a resource from the primary or any other host that
validates your password, the mount will fail if your
password does not match the one that host has listed for
your machine.
