NAME
npsd - Netware Protocol Stack Daemon
SYNOPSIS
npsd
[ -vtrf ] [ -v verbose ] [ -t ss ] [ -r nn ] [ -f frame type ]
DESCRIPTION
npsd
configures the protocol stack. Frame type configuration is automatic. When NEXTSTEP is rebooted,
npsd
sends out Nearest Server Query broadcast packets to
find the nearest server. It tries two times for the following frame formats: Ethernet-II, 802.2 over 802.3, 802.2 with SNAP headers over 802.3, and raw 802.3. As soon as npsd gets a response from a server,
it stops the search process, and configures itself to use the
frame format which triggered the response. The -f option is used to define the frame type when sending Nearest Server Query Broadcast packets to find the nearest server.
npsd
is typically started in the file /etc/rc. To override the automatic configuration, edit the command line options on the line that contains /usr/netware/etc/npsd.
