DESCRIPTION
     The Local Location Broker Daemon (llbd) is part of the Network Computing
     System (NCS).  It manages the Local Location Broker (LLB) database, which
     stores information about NCS-based server programs running on the local
     node.

     A host must run llbd if it is to support the Location Broker forwarding
     function or to allow remote access (e.g., by the lb_admin tool) to the
     LLB database.  In general, any node that runs an NCS-based server program
     should run an llbd.  Additionally, any network supporting NCS activity
     should have at least one node running the Global Location Broker Daemon
     (glbd).  Typically, both daemons are started at boot time from the
     /etc/rc file.

     To start llbd on a node that is already running, type the following at a
     shell prompt:

     $ /etc/server /etc/ncs/llbd &


     To have llbd start every time a node boots, use touch or crf to create
     the file /etc/daemons/llbd.

     If llbd is to support remote access from hosts in the IP address family,
     a TCP daemon (tcpd) must be running on the local node; tcpd should be
     started before llbd.
