NFSD(8)			  BSD System Manager's Manual		       NFSD(8)

NAME
     nfsd - remote NFS server

SYNOPSIS
     nfsd [-prtu] [-n num_servers]

DESCRIPTION
     The nfsd program runs on a server machine to service NFS requests from
     client machines.  At least one nfsd must be running for a machine to op-
     erate as a server.	 The -t and -u options specify which protocols are to
     be served; both TCP and UDP are available.	 The port numbers for each are
     taken from the services(5) file, or default to 2049 (a non-privileged
     port) as indicated in the NFS server specification; see Network File
     System Protocol Specification, RFC1094 and NFS: Network File System
     Version 3 Protocol Specification.

     The nfsd servers will ignore IP level options (e.g., source routing) on
     incoming requests.

     The following options are available:

     -n	     Specifies how many servers to create.  The default is 4.

     -p	     Disables the default port number for service.  If there are no
	     nfs entries in services(5), nfsd will exit.  This can be used to
	     ensure that only a privileged port will be served.

     -r	     Register the NFS service with portmap(8) without creating any
	     servers.  This option can be used along with the -u or -t options
	     to re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.

     -t	     Serve TCP NFS clients.

     -u	     Serve UDP NFS clients.

     For example, ``nfsd -u -t -n 6'' serves UDP and TCP transports using six
     daemons.

     A server should run enough daemons to handle the maximum level of concur-
     rency from its clients, typically four to six.

     The nfsd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

HISTORY
     The nfsd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
