Administering Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) administration consists of
configuring administration files that:
-
establish name-to-address mapping relationships
-
start rpcbind
and other server daemons at boot time
-
prompt users for a network password at login (Secure RPC)
-
make sure Secure RPC users
call keylogout at logout
-
start Network Information Service (NIS) daemons
and put the master /etc/publickey file
on an NIS server
Servers are started at boot time by editable system RC scripts.
The file /etc/profile is edited to call keylogin
to query for a network password at login time.
NIS is currently the recommended default mechanism for administering
the /etc/publickey file for Secure RPC
(see
``Administering the Network Information Service (NIS)''
for more information).
