NAME

sapd − Service Advertising Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

sapd [ -ds ]

DESCRIPTION

sapd broadcasts SAP packets to determine the location of Bindery services.  sapd is typically started by the /etc/rc file. It listens on the SAP socket and builds a name to address cache which is consulted when a new connection is made. 

OPTIONS

-d Enable debugging output. 

-s Explicitly define the name of a server to use for Bindery service. This option is for routing situations where restricted routers disallow SAP information to pass.
