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.
