NAME

rlbdaemon − remote loopback diagnostic server

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rlbdaemon

DESCRIPTION

rlbdaemon is the server that supports the remote-loopback diagnostic (rlb) client program.  rlb and rlbdaemon together provide a diagnostic capability for LAN/9000 Local Area Network (LAN) products on HP 9000 computer systems. 

To use this diagnostic, Net IPC software must be installed on the system.  Only users with appropriate privileges can start the rlbdaemon server. 

rlbdaemon waits for connections on a NetIPC call socket.  When a connection arrives, rlbdaemon forks and invokes a server to exchange messages with the client process.  The forked server process executes until the connection is closed.  The parent rlbdaemon process continues to wait for another connection on the Netipc call socket.  A maximum of 10 forked server processes can be executing at one time.
