NAME

     rpc.sprayd, sprayd -- spray server

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/libexec/rpc.sprayd

DESCRIPTION

     rpc.sprayd is a server which records packets sent by the spray(8) command and sends a traffic report to the originator of the packets.  The
     rpc.sprayd daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).

     rpc.sprayd uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/spray.x.

SEE ALSO

     spray(8)

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

     As rpc.sprayd responds to packets generated by spray(8), remote users can cause a denial of network service against the local host by satu-
     rating requests to rpc.sprayd.

NAME

       rpc.sprayd, sprayd - spray server

SYNOPSIS

       log_file]

DESCRIPTION

       is an RPC server that records the packets sent by from another system (see spray(1M)).

       daemon  may  be started by or through the command line.	The service provided by is not useful as a networking benchmark as it uses unreli-
       able connectionless transports, UDP, for example.  It can report a large number of packets dropped when the drops were caused by  the  pro-
       gram sending packets faster than they can be buffered locally, that is, before the packets get to the network medium.

   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, host name, process id and name of the function gen-
			   erating the error, and the error message.  Note that different services can share a single log file since enough infor-
			   mation 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 rpcbind(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.  is the default.
