Step 3: set up the listen port monitor
The listener is a port monitor under the control of the
Service Access Controller (SAC),
a daemon process that provides
a consistent interface to all services,
whether the user's connection to the system is
local or across a network.
(Because the purpose of the SAC
is not limited to managing network access,
it is not documented in this topic.
For more information about the SAC
and setting up the listener, see
``The Service Access Facility''
and
``Administering the listen port monitor''.)
To set up the listener, do the following:
-
Add a
listen
port monitor to the SAC's
administrative file, using
sacadm(1M).
-
Set up the port monitor's administrative file, using
pmadm(1M).
Setting up the file involves:
-
adding one or more services
to the listener's administrative file
-
enabling the service on
a port that the listener is monitoring
-
associating an authentication scheme with a service
