NAME

sfssd - SFS server daemon

SYNOPSIS

sfssd [-d] [-S sfs-config-file] [-f config-file]

DESCRIPTION

sfssd is the main server daemon run on SFS servers. sfssd

itself does not serve any file systems. Rather, it acts as a

meta-server, accepting connections on TCP port 4 and passing them

off to the appropriate daemon. Ordinarily, sfssd passes all file

system connections to sfsrwsd, and all user-key management con

nections to sfsauthd. However, the sfssd_config file () allows a

great deal of customization, including support for ``virtual

servers,'' multiple versions of the SFS software coexisting, and

new SFS-related services other than the file system and user au

thentication.

OPTIONS

-d Stay in the foreground and print messages to standard

error rather than redirecting them to the system log.

-f config-file

Specify an alternate sfssd configuration file. The

default, if -f is unspecified, is first to look for

/etc/sfs/sfssd_config, then /usr/local/share/sfs/sfssd_config.

-S sfs-config-file

Specify an alternate name for the sfs_config file. If

sfs-config-file begins with a /, then only this file is parsed.

Otherwise, all the directories /usr/local/share/sfs and /etc/sfs

are searched in order, and if no file named sfs-config-file is

found but a file sfs_config is found, that file is parsed. How

ever, the process does not look in /etc/sfs if sfs-config-file is

found in /usr/local/share/sfs. Thus, if you create a file

/etc/sfs/sfs-config-file, it will override /etc/sfs/sfs_config

while still incorporating the defaults from

/usr/local/share/sfs/sfs_config.

FILES

/etc/sfs/sfssd_config
/usr/local/share/sfs/sfssd_config

meta-server configuration

(Files in /etc/sfs supersede default versions in

/usr/local/share/sfs.)
