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, accept‐
        ing connections on TCP port 4 and passing them off to the appropriate
        daemon.  Ordinarily, sfssd passes all file system connections to sfsr     
        wsd, and all user-key management connections 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 authentication.
 

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.  However, 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-con‐
            fig-file, it will override /etc/sfs/sfs_config while still incorpo‐
            rating the defaults from /usr/local/share/sfs/sfs_config.

        The full documentation for SFS is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If
        the info and SFS programs are properly installed at your site, the com‐
        mand info SFS should give you access to the complete manual.
