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.
