NAME
     isnsdd - iSNS discovery daemon

SYNOPSIS
     isnsdd [-f] [-c filename] [-d debug-facility]

DESCRIPTION
     Isnsdd  is  a  client  side daemon for iSNS. It registers storage nodes and
     portals with the iSNS service,  and  refreshes  these  registrations  in  a
     timely manner.

     The  daemon  also	registers  itself  to  receive	SCN  notifications,  and
     processes these. It can be configured to invoke an external helper applica-
     tion for each status notification received. The path name of the helper ap-
     plication can be specified via the SCNCallout option in  the  configuration
     file.

OPTIONS
     By  default,  isnsd  will	take most of its settings from the configuration
     file /etc/isns/isnsdd.conf, with the addition of the following command line
     options:

     --config filename, -c filename
	    This option overrides the default configuration file.

     --foreground,-f
	    By default, isnsd will put itself into the background. By specifying
	    this option, you can tell it to run in  the  foreground.  Any  error
	    messages  or debug output will be printed to the console rather than
	    being sent to syslog.

     --role role
	    This tells the discovery daemon in which capacity is should register
	    itself with the iSNS server.  Role can be either initiator, or  con-
	    trol.  The default is to register as an initiator.

	    Registering  target nodes needs to use a different mechanism, as the
	    iSCSI target server needs to inform the discovery daemon about  each
	    exported target separately. This is not implemented yet.

     --debug facility, -d facility
	    enables debugging. Valid facilities are

	 +---------+-----------------------------------------------------+
	 | socket  | network send/receive				 |
