NAME

       rusersd - network username server

SYNOPSIS

       log_file]

DESCRIPTION

       is an RPC server that returns a list of users on the network.  The command prints this information (see rusers(1)).

       invokes through (see inetd(1M)).

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

	      Log any errors to the named log file,
			     log_file.	Errors are not logged if the option is not specified.

			     Information  logged  to the file includes date and time of the error, the host name, process ID and name of the func-
			     tion generating the error, and the error message.	Note that different services can share a  single  log  file  since
			     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.  This option is the default.
