NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       proplistd  -  Services remote NFS compatible property list
       requests

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/proplistd numthreads

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The proplistd daemon services sideband  protocol  requests
       from  NFS  clients  for property list operations. Requests
       may be to get, set, and or delete the property list  associated
 with an NFS served file system object.

       The  proplistd  is  a  multi-threaded ONC/RPC server.  The
       numthreads argument specifies the number  of  preallocated
       service threads. The recommended number of service threads
       is 1/4th the number of nfsd threads.

       The object against which the proplist() operation is  performed
  must  be  exported  with  appropriate access: read
       access for getproplist() operations, and write access  for
       setproplist() and delproplist() operations.

       The proplistd daemon is typically started by nfssetup.

       See the acl(4) reference page for a discussion of the nfsflatten-mode.
