NFSCBD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		     NFSCBD(8)

NAME
       nfscbd -- NFSv4 client side callback daemon

SYNOPSIS
       nfscbd [-p port_number] [-P client_principal]

DESCRIPTION
       nfscbd  runs  on	 a client using	NFSv4 to handle	callback requests from
       the NFSv4 server.  If no	nfscbd is running,  NFSv4  mounts  will	 still
       work, but the server will never issue Open Delegations to the client.

       One callback server and one master server are always started.

       The following options are available:

       -p port_number
	       Specifies what port# the	callback server	should use.

       -P client_principal
	       Specifies  the host based principal name	to be used as the tar-
	       get for callbacks over RPCSEC_GSS. For KerberosV, it must be in
	       the client's default keytab file.  This client_principal	should
	       be the same one specified by the	gssname	argument being used by
	       nfsv4 mounts.  If you do	not specify this  argument,  callbacks
	       will  still  work  over	AUTH_SYS,  which  is  what many	extant
	       servers use even	for RPCSEC_GSS mounts, as of 2009.

       For example, "nfscbd -p 7654 -P root" starts the	daemon to handle call-
       backs on	port# 7654 and is using	the host based principal root@<client-
       host>.<dns-domain> as the callback target.

       nfscbd listens for service requests at the port defined by NFSV4_CBPORT
       in /usr/include/fs/nfs/nfs.h, unless -p has been	specified.   For  more
       information on what callbacks and Open Delegations do, see Network File
       System (NFS) Version 4 Protocol,	RFC3530.

EXIT STATUS
       The nfscbd utility exits	0 on success, and >0 if	an error occurs.

       First  introduced with the experimental nfs client for NFSv4 support in
       2009.
