NAME
zhm - Zephyr HostManager SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/zhm [ -d ] [ -n ] [ -h ] [ -r ] [ -i ] [ -f ] [ -N ] [ server ... ] DESCRIPTION
Zhm is the link between a client machine and the zephyr server. All notices sent from programs on the client are funneled through zhm. This allows all client programs to be much simpler in function, since the HostManager is responsible for handling errors, retransmitting lost notices, and holding all notices until they are acknowledged. The -d option turns on debugging mode, and sends its information to syslog LOG_DAEMON messages. The -n option causes zhm to not attempt to put itself in the background. The -h option causes zhm to send a shutdown message and exit upon delivery of a SIGHUP signal. The normal action on SIGHUP is to send a flush notice to the zephyr server. The -r option causes zhm to send a boot notice to the server and exit when the notice is acknowledged. The -i option indicates that zhm is being started by inetd(8). When this option is specified, zhm assumes that file descriptor zero (0) is bound to the UDP datagram port designated for hostmanager use. In this mode, SIGHUP is handled as if the -h option were specified. The -f option disables the "flush" operation which allows any client to flush all subscriptions for the host. The -N option supresses the initial "boot" message that flushes all subscriptions for the host, which is useful if you're restarting zhm on a host that people are using. The optional server arguments are used to replace the set of server names supplied by the hesiod(3) name server. SEE ALSO

NAME
zlocate - find a user using Zephyr SYNOPSIS
zlocate [ -a | -d ] [ -1 ] [ -p ] user ... DESCRIPTION
Zlocate uses the Zephyr(1) Notification Service to find where a user is currently logged in. If the user is not logged in, or has set his location information such that you do not have access to see it, zlocate prints "Hidden or not logged-in". Otherwise, each machine that the user is currently logged into is printed, along with the time of login and location. The location is usually the X window system dis- play name of the user's display, but may be the terminal name if he is not using X or for some other reason is only using the terminal interface to zwgc(1). By default, all zlocate requests are authenticated using Kerberos. If you do not have Kerberos tickets, or for some other reason do not want to authenticate, the -d option will turn off authentication. The -a option is the default, authentication on. When locating multiple users, zlocate will display the user name on a line by itself, followed by the locations for that user. To display the user name on the same line as the output, use the -1 option (the numeral one). To look up multiple users in parallel asynchronously, use the -p option. DIAGNOSTICS
zlocate exits with status zero (0) if at least one user was found, and one (1) if no users were found. SEE ALSO
