option and add explicit option to bind to the wildcard address. The
default is to bind to the wildcard address when no -h option has been
specified and thus backwards compatibility is maintained.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm nfsd

|

|
|
.Op Fl n Ar num_servers
|
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Nfsd
|
|
runs on a server machine to service
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
requests from client machines.
|
|
At least one
|
|
.Nm nfsd
|
|
must be running for a machine to operate as a server.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, four servers for
|
|
.Tn UDP
|
|
transport are started.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Register the
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
service with
|
|
.Xr portmap 8
|
|
without creating any servers.
|
|
This option can be used along with the
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
options to re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Specifies how many servers to create.
|
|
.It Fl h Ar bindip
|
|
Specifies which IP address or hostname to bind to on the local host.
|
|
This option is recommended when a host has multiple interfaces. Multiple
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
options may be specified.
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Specifies that nfsd should bind to the wildcard IP address.
|
|
This is the default if no
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
options are given. It may also be specified in addition to any
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
options given. Note that NFS/UDP does not operate properly when
|
|
bound to the wildcard IP address whether you use -a or do not use -h.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Serve
|
|
.Tn TCP NFS
|
|
clients.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Serve
|
|
.Tn UDP NFS
|
|
clients.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Dq Li "nfsd -u -t -n 6"
|
|
serves
|
|
.Tn UDP
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
transports using six daemons.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A server should run enough daemons to handle
|
|
the maximum level of concurrency from its clients,
|
|
typically four to six.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Nfsd
|
|
listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
server specification; see
|
|
.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
|
|
RFC1094 and
|
|
.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm nfsd
|
|
detects that
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
is not loaded in the running kernel, it will attempt
|
|
to load a loadable kernel module containing
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
support using
|
|
.Xr kldload 8
|
|
by way of
|
|
.Xr vfsload 3 .
|
|
If this fails, or no
|
|
.Tn NFS
|
|
KLD is available,
|
|
.Nm nfsd
|
|
will exit with an error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm nfsd
|
|
is to be run on a host with multiple interfaces or interface aliases, use
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
option is recommended. If you do not use the option NFS may not respond to
|
|
UDP packets from the same IP address they were sent to. Use of this option
|
|
is also recommended when securing NFS exports on a firewalling machine such
|
|
that the NFS sockets can only be accessed by the inside interface.
|
|
.Nm Ipfw
|
|
would then be used to block nfs-related packets that come in on the outside
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm nfsd
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
