Name

llbd − Local Location Broker Daemon

Syntax

/etc/ncs/llbd [ −version ] }

Description

The Local Location Broker Daemon ( llbd ) is part of the Network Computing System (NCS). It manages the Local Location Broker (LLB) database, which stores information about RPC-based server programs running on the local host.

A host must run llbd if it is to support the Location Broker forwarding function or to allow remote access (for example, by the lb_admin tool) to the LLB database. In general, any host that runs an RPC-based server program must run an llbd, and llbd must be running before any such servers are started. Additionally, any network supporting RPC activity should have at least one host running a Global Location Broker Daemon ( nrglbd ).

On ULTRIX systems, llbd is typically started by a line in /etc/rc such as the following:

/etc/ncs/llbd& echo −n ’ llbd’ > /dev/console

Note

If your system contains more than one broadcast interface, the RPC software uses only the broadcast interface associated with the /bin/hostname value in your /etc/rc.local file.

Options

−version Display the version of the Network Computing Kernel (NCK) that this llbd belongs to, but do not start the daemon.  (NCK is part of the Network Computing System (NCS) on which DECrpc is based.)
