xnsd − network utility daemon

SYNOPSIS

/etc/xnsd [ boot directory ]

DESCRIPTION

Xnsd is a daemon that is the server for the XNS network utilities.  This server listens for connections and will start up the appropriate programs.  A connection to the login socket will start /bin/login.  The shell will be invoked if a connection to the shell socket is made.  A connection on the boot socket will start sgboot(1). The optional boot directory argument is passed to sgboot.  The default boot directory is /usr/local/boot. 

Xnsd can be started by hand but should normally be started in a rc file.
