Daemon

Description

nfsd
An NFS server daemon that handles file system exporting and file access requests from remote systems. An NFS server runs

mountd
An NFS server daemon that handles mount requests from NFS clients. This daemon provides information about which file sys

lockd
A daemon that runs on the NFS server and NFS client and provides file-locking services in NFS. This daemon is started by the

statd
A daemon that runs on the NFS server and NFS client and interacts with lockd to provide the crash and recovery functions for

rpcbind
A daemon that facilitates the initial connection between the client and the server.

nfsmapid
A new daemon that maps to and from NFS v4 owner and group identification and UID and GID numbers. It uses entries in the

nfs4cbd
A new client side daemon that listens on each transport and manages the callback functions to the NFS server.

nfslogd
A daemon that provides operational logging to the Solaris NFS server. nfslogd is described later in this chapter, in the section
er milestone and is started by the svc:/network/nfs/server:default service identifier. This daemon is not used in NFS version 4.
Daemon Description
An NFS server daemon that handles file system exporting and file access requests
from remote systems. An NFS server runs multiple instances of this daemon. This
daemon is usually invoked at the multi-user-server milestone and is started by the
nfsd svc:/network/nfs/server:default service identifier.

An NFS server daemon that handles mount requests from NFS clients. This daemon
provides information about which file systems are mounted by which clients. You use
the showmount command, described later in this chapter, to view this information. This
daemon is usually invoked at the multi-user-server milestone and is started by the
svc:/network/nfs/server:default service identifier. This daemon is not used in NFS
mountd version 4.
A daemon that runs on the NFS server and NFS client and provides file-locking
services in NFS. This daemon is started by the svc:/network/nfs/client service identifier
lockd at the multi-user milestone.
A daemon that runs on the NFS server and NFS client and interacts with lockd to
provide the crash and recovery functions for the locking services on NFS. This
daemon is started by the svc:/network/nfs/client service identifier at the multi-user
statd milestone. This daemon is not used in NFS version 4.
rpcbind A daemon that facilitates the initial connection between the client and the server.

A new daemon that maps to and from NFS v4 owner and group identification and UID
and GID numbers. It uses entries in the passwd and group files to carry out the
nfsmapid mapping, and also references /etc/nsswitch.conf to determine the order of access.
A new client side daemon that listens on each transport and manages the callback
nfs4cbd functions to the NFS server.
A daemon that provides operational logging to the Solaris NFS server. nfslogd is
described later in this chapter, in the section "NFS Server Logging." The nfslogd
nfslogd daemon is not used in NFS version 4.
