     rwall: RPC: Program not registered
	     The rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Timed out
	     A communication error occurred.  Either the network is excessively congested, or the rpc.rwalld(8) daemon has terminated on the
	     remote host.

     rwall: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
	     The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ), and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
	     down.

NAME

       rwalld - network rwall server

SYNOPSIS

       log_file]

DESCRIPTION

       is  an RPC server that handles requests (see rwall(1)).	calls to send a message to all users logged into the host on which is running (see
       wall(1)).

       invokes through (see inetd(1M)).

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line options:

	      Log any errors to
			     log_file.	Errors are not logged if the option is not specified.

			     Information logged to the log file includes date and time of the error, the host name, process ID	and  name  of  the
			     function  generating  the	error,	and  the  error message.  Note that different services can share a single log file
			     because enough information is included to uniquely identify each error.

	      Exit after serving each RPC request.
			     Using the option, the security file can control access to RPC services.

	      Exit only if:

				  o  dies (see portmap(1M)),

				  o  another registers with or

				  o  becomes unregistered with

       The option is more efficient because a new process is not launched for each RPC request.  Note, this option is the default.
