NAME
       in.stlisten - Service Tag Listener

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/inet/in.stlisten

DESCRIPTION
       The in.stlisten daemon allows a mechanism for  discovering      the  location  of  the Service Tag. By default, the in.stlisten daemon lis-
       tens for discovery probes (using  a minimal built-in protocol) on TCP port 6481.

       The daemon is under control of the service management facility, smf(5), under its inetd framework.  It only runs upon demand and exits when
       no longer in use.

NOTES
       In  open  networks  where  the  participants  may not always be trusted, it is recommended that you deploy this daemon with the passphrase-
       encryption option. In smf(5) environments, the following command can be used to set the passphrase:

	 < prepare a text file "passfile" containing the passphrase >
	 # chown svctag:daemon passfile
	 # chmod 600 passfile
	 svccfg -s svc:/network/stlisten 
		 setprop servicetag/passphrase=passfile

       where passfile is the path of a file containing the intended passphrase.

       This passphrase can be subsequently cleared as follows:

	 svccfg -s svc:/network/stlisten 
		 setprop servicetag/passphrase=""
