NFS applications and control
The NFS, NIS, and NIS+ daemons are controlled by the System Resource Controller (SRC).
This means you must use SRC commands such as startsrc, stopsrc, and lssrc to start, stop, and check the status of the NFS, NIS, and NIS+ daemons.
Some NFS daemons are not controlled by the SRC; specifically, rpc.rexd, rpc.rusersd, rpc.rwalld, and rpc.rsprayd are not controlled by the SRC. These daemons are started and stopped by the inetd daemon.
The following table lists the SRC-controlled daemons and their subsystem names.
| File path | Subsystem name | Group name |
|---|---|---|
| /usr/sbin/nfsd | nfsd | nfs |
| /usr/sbin/biod | biod | nfs |
| /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd | rpc.lockd | nfs |
| /usr/sbin/rpc.statd | rpc.statd | nfs |
| /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd | rpc.mountd | nfs |
| /usr/sbin/nfsrgyd | nfsrgyd | nfs |
| /usr/sbin/gssd | gssd | nfs |
| /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypserv | ypserv | yp |
| /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypbind | ypbind | yp |
| /usr/lib/netsvc/rpc.yppasswdd | yppasswdd | yp |
| /usr/lib/netsvc/rpc.ypupdated | ypupdated | yp |
| /usr/sbin/keyserv | keyserv | keyserv |
| /usr/sbin/portmap | portmap | portmap |
NIS+ daemons are described in Network Information Services (NIS and NIS+) Guide. Each of these daemons can be specified to the SRC commands by using their subsystem name or the appropriate group name. These daemons support neither the long-listing facility of SRC nor the SRC trace commands.
For more information on using the SRC, see System Resource Controller Overview in Operating system and device management.
