NFS Services Administrator's Guide (B.11.31.03) August 2008

For information on the /etc/group file, see group(4).
Configuring RPC-based Services
This section describes the following tasks:
• “Enabling Other RPC Services”
• “Restricting Access to RPC-based Services”
Enabling Other RPC Services
1. In the /etc/inetd.conf file, use a text editor to uncomment the entries that
begin with “rpc” .
Following is the list of entries in an /etc/inetd.conf file:
#rpc xit tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rpc.rexd 100017 1 rpc.rexd
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd 100001
2-4 rpc.rstatd
#rpc xit datagram_v,circuit_v wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rusers/rpc.rusersd 100002
1-3 rpc.rusersd
#rpc xit datagram_v wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/rwall/rpc.rwalld 100008
1 rpc.rwalld
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.quotad 100011 1 rpc.rquotad
#rpc dgram udp wait root /usr/lib/netsvc/spray/rpc.sprayd 100012
1 rpc.sprayd
#rpc xti ticotsord swait root /usr/lib/netsvc/gss/gssd 100234 1 gssd
2. Enter the following command to force inetd to read its configuration file:
/usr/sbin/inetd -c
CAUTION: Do not issue the/usr/sbin/inetd command if NFS is not yet running
on your system. The nfs.core startup script starts the rpcbind process, which must
be running before you configure inetd to manage RPC-based services.
Table 2-8 lists the RPC daemons and services that can be started by the inetd daemon.
It briefly describes each one and specifies the manpage you can refer to for more
information.
