DESCRIPTION Spray sends multiple RPC packets to host and records how many of them were correctly received and how long it took. Spray is intended for use in network testing, measurement, and management. This command can be very hard on a network and should be used with caution. NAME sprayd, rpc.sprayd - spray server SYNOPSIS /usr/libexec/rpc.sprayd DESCRIPTION rpc.sprayd is a server which records packets sent by the spray(1) 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. * /usr/bin/quota and /usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad (both from NetBSD) this would include the adaption of the /etc/inetd.conf (rpc.rquotad) (i think i'll have to check also quota - because it seems that it doesn't support asking nfs mounts via rquota - i want to get the NetBSD quota to compare now) NAME rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server SYNOPSIS /usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad DESCRIPTION rpc.rquotad is a rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of a local filesystem which is NFS-mounted onto a remote machine. quota(1) uses the results to display user quotas for remote filesystems. rpc.rquotad is normally invoked by inetd(8). rpc.rquotad uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.x. * /etc/rc.i386 and /usr/bin/ibcs2 - some slight cosmetic changes they change the output for instance from: --- +++ --- enabling FreeBSD/i386 options: ibcs2 emulator installed coff loader installed socksys driver installed configuring syscons: [kbdcontrol: keymap] screensaver: blank screen saver installed . --- +++ --- to (the i think a bit better and more organized looking): --- +++ --- enabling FreeBSD/i386 options: loading iBCS2 emulation: * ibcs2 emulator installed * coff loader installed * socksys driver installed configuring syscons: * kbdcontrol: keymap * screensaver: blank screen saver installed done --- +++ --- all the other things are also adapted equivalent (i only did it here for 2.1.0 - thus things like the linux-script will be changed as well for -current) * maybe i'll add some sysconfig/rc.i386 stuff for the pcvt configuration (maybe with joerg - joerg - are you there :-) is there someone against these ideas ? - any testers/reviewers ? t _______________________________________________________||_____________________ __|| Perfection is reached, not when there is no __|| thomas graichen longer anything to add, but when there __|| freie universitaet berlin is no longer anything to take away __|| fachbereich physik __|| - Antoine de Saint-Exupery - __|| ___________________________||____email: graichen@omega.physik.fu-berlin.de____
