Dt RPC.LOCKD 8
Os
Sh NAME
Nm rpc.lockd
Nd NFS file locking daemon
Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm
Op Fl 46
Op Fl d Ar debug_level
Op Fl g Ar grace_period
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm
daemon provides monitored and unmonitored file and record locking services
in an NFS environment.
To monitor the status of hosts requesting locks, the locking daemon
typically operates in conjunction with
Xr rpc.statd 8 .
Pp
Options and operands available for
Nm :
Bl -tag -width XgXgrace_periodXX
It Fl 4
Listen for requests using IPv4.
Do not listen using IPv6 unless the
Fl 6
option is also specified.
By default,
Nm
listens for requests using both IPv4 and IPv6 if available.
It Fl 6
Listen for requests using IPv6.
It is an error if IPv6 is not available.
It Fl d Ar debug_level
Cause debugging information to be written to syslog, recording all
RPC transactions to the daemon.
These messages are logged with level
Dv LOG_DEBUG
and facility
Dv LOG_DAEMON .
Specifying a
Ar debug_level
of 1 results in the generation of one log line per protocol operation.
Higher debug levels can be specified, causing display of operation
arguments and internal operations of the daemon.
It Fl g Ar grace_period
Set the grace period (in seconds) to
Ar grace_period .
During the grace period
Nm
only accepts requests from hosts which are reinitialising locks which
existed before the server restarted.
Default is 30 seconds.
El
Pp
Error conditions are logged to syslog, irrespective of the debug level,
using log level
Dv LOG_ERR
and facility
Dv LOG_DAEMON .
Pp
The
Nm
daemon must NOT be invoked by
Xr inetd 8
because the protocol assumes that the daemon will run from system start time.
Instead, it should be configured in
Xr rc.conf 5
to run at system startup.
Sh FILES
Bl -tag -width /usr/include/rpcsvc/nlm_prot.x -compact
It Pa /usr/include/rpcsvc/nlm_prot.x
RPC protocol specification for the network lock manager protocol.
El
Sh SEE ALSO
Xr syslog 3 ,
Xr rc.conf 5 ,
Xr rpc.statd 8
Sh STANDARDS
The implementation is based on the specification in X/Open CAE Specification
C218, "Protocols for X/Open PC Interworking: XNFS, Issue 4", ISBN 1 872630 66 9.
Sh HISTORY
A version of
Nm
appeared in
Tn SunOS 4 .
Sh BUGS
The current implementation provides only the server side of the protocol
(i.e., clients running other OS types can establish locks on a
Nx
fileserver, but there is currently no means for a
Nx
client to establish locks).
Pp
The current implementation serialises lock requests that could be shared.
