nbd(1Mtcp)
nbd --
NetBIOS daemon
Synopsis
in.nbd
Description
The NetBIOS daemon, in.nbd, initializes NetBIOS, then remains active
to create new TCP endpoints for NetBIOS and recycle
used ones. NetBIOS initialization consists of performing an
ioctl to set certain configuration parameters and
linking UDP and TCP endpoints to
NetBIOS. Two UDP endpoints and one TCP
endpoint are used for the name, datagram, and session
services, respectively. Each NetBIOS session requires one
TCP endpoint. As sessions terminate, their
TCP endpoints are unlinked. From time to time,
new TCP endpoints must be linked to NetBIOS to use
for new sessions. The daemon listens for messages from
NetBIOS instructing it to unlink certain endpoints and/or
provide new ones.
The script /etc/netbios (see
netbios(1Mtcp))
reads default values for the NetBIOS configuration parameters
from the file /etc/inet/nb.conf,
sets these in its environment,
and then starts in.nbd.
in.nbd then reads these environment variables to determine
the NetBIOS configuration parameter values.
in.nbd fails if it does not find values for all configuration
parameters set in the environment.
Diagnostics
in.nbd uses
syslogd(1M)
to report errors.
