NAME

db − connection service database

SYNOPSIS

­/services/cs/db

DESCRIPTION

The connection service database file is read by the connection server cs(8), when it receives a request using a machine name of the form $service. 

The file consists of a two column list (separated by whitespace) of the form:

$servicehostname

If the ­hostname is a logical network name, the connection server subsequently converts it to a network address (eg, from domain name to Internet address) before replying to its client. 

Blank lines and comments (lines beginning with #) are ignored. 

­Cs takes care to update any name cache it maintains if it sees that the file has changed since it was last read (based on its modification time). 

EXAMPLE

­$SIGNER ­doppio

­$FILESERVER ­dispensa

­$MAILSERVER ­doppio
