PNPD(8C)  —  MAINTENANCE COMMANDS

NAME

pnpd − PNP daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/rpc.pnpd

AVAILABILITY

Sun386i systems only. 

DESCRIPTION

pnpd is used during routine booting of systems to determine their network configuration, and by new systems to configure themselves on a network.  pnpd adds and removes diskless clients of the boot server on which it is running.  The pnpd daemon is normally invoked in rc.local.  The RPCs are used by netconfig(8C), pnp.s386 (see pnpboot(8C)), and client(8). 

The bootservers YP map specifies limits on server capacity and default swap size.
