54 is a server that converts
58 protocol port numbers.
59 It must be running in order to make
65 server is started, it will tell
67 what port number it is listening to, and what
69 program numbers it is prepared to serve.
70 When a client wishes to make an
72 call to a given program number,
75 on the server machine to determine
78 packets should be sent.
81 must be started before any
88 access control by default.
89 Access control patterns may only reference IP addresses.
93 forks and dissociates itself from the terminal
94 like any other daemon.
96 then logs errors using
99 The following options are available:
100 .Bl -tag -width indent
104 from running as a daemon,
105 and causes errors and debugging information
106 to be printed to the standard error output.
108 Enable verbose logging of access control checks.
110 Specify specific IP addresses to bind to for UDP requests.
112 may be specified multiple times and is typically necessary when running
113 on a multi-homed host.
120 which could lead to problems on a multi-homed host due to
122 returning a UDP packet from a different IP address than it was
124 Note that when specifying IP addresses with
127 will automatically add
139 crashes, all servers must be restarted.
