NAME

nfsportmon - Turns the port monitor on or off

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/nfsportmon option

offTurns off the port monitor. 

DESCRIPTION

The nfsportmon command turns the port monitor on or off at the kernel level.  By default, the port monitor is turned off. 

When the port monitor is on, NFS server port checking is activated.  This checking increases system security by ensuring that file access requests were generated by the client kernel rather than by a forged application program, for example. 

Only the superuser or root can run nfsportmon.
