alfred 13005eb45a Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.

  Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.

  Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
  has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
  into BSD socket calls.

  This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
  however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
  only made available after this porting effort was underway).

  The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
  1999 release.

  Several key features are introduced with this update:
    Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
    safe)
    Updated, a more modern interface.

  Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
  the recent RPC API.

  There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
  pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
  library.

  While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
  long of a wait.

  New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
  an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
  set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
  than the old portmapper.

  Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
  to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.

  Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
  which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

.Dt RPC.LOCKD 8
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm rpc.lockd
.Nd NFS file locking daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.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 indent
.It Fl d
The
.Fl d
option causes 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
The
.Fl g
option allow to specify the
.Ar grace period ,
in seconds.
During the grace period
.Nm
only accepts requests from hosts which are reinitialising locks which
existed before the server restart.
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 BUGS
The current implementation provides only the server side of the protocol
(i.e., clients running other OS types can establish locks on a
.Fx
/
.Nx
fileserver,
but there is currently no means for a
.Fx
/
.Nx
client to establish locks).
.Pp
The current implementation serialises locks requests that could be shared.
.Sh STANDARDS
The implementation is based on the specification in
.Rs
.%B "X/Open CAE Specification C218"
.%T "Protocols for X/Open PC Interworking: XNFS, Issue 4"
