NAME
     isnsd - iSNS server daemon

SYNOPSIS
     isnsd [-f] [-4] [-6] [-c filename] [-d debug-facility] [--dump-db] [--init]

DESCRIPTION
     Isnsd  implements the iSNS protocol as defined in RFC 4171.  iSNS is a dis-
     covery protocol for iSCSI and iFCP.

OPTIONS
     By default, isnsd will take most of its  settings	from  the  configuration
     file /etc/isns/isnsd.conf, with the exception of the following 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.

     -4     tells  isnsd to create an IPv4 socket only. Normally, it defaults to
	    IPv6 (which will accept both IPv4 and IPv6 connections).

     -6     tells isnsd explicitly to create an IPv6 socket only. Since  it  de-
	    faults to IPv6 anyway, this is really a no-op.

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

	 +---------+-----------------------------------------------------+
	 | socket  | network send/receive				 |
	 | auth    | authentication and security related information	 |
	 | message | iSNS protocol layer				 |
	 | state   | database state					 |
	 | scn	   | SCN (state change notification) messages		 |
	 | esi	   | ESI (entity status inquiry) messages		 |
	 | all	   | all of the above					 |
	 +---------+-----------------------------------------------------+

     --dump-db
	    This  is a helper function that will read the database from the file
	    system, and display it in human readable form. When using  this  op-
	    tion, isnsd will not open any sockets, and terminate immediately af-
	    ter display the database.

	    This  option  is  intended to be used by the administrator when sus-
	    pecting that the database contains bad/inconsistent information.

     --init
	    This option will create the server's authentication key, and the re-
	    quired DSA parameters. The private key is stored in the file  speci-
	    fied by the AuthKey option (usually /etc/isns/auth_key).  The public
	    portion  of  the  key  is written to same directory, with the suffix
	    .pub appended to the key file name.
