rpc.smserverd(1M) System Administration Commands rpc.smserverd(1M)NAMErpc.smserverd - removable media device server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/smedia/rpc.smserverd
DESCRIPTIONrpc.smserverd is a server that handles requests from client applica‐
tions, such as volume management software, for access to removable
media devices. In addition to volume management software, rmformat(1)
and the CDE Filemanager (when performing removable media operations)
are rpc.smserverd clients. The rpc.smserverd daemon is started by
inetd(1M) when a client makes a call to a Solaris-internal library to
access a SCSI, IDE, or USB device. The daemon is not started if a
client attempts to access a floppy or PCMCIA device. Once started, the
daemon remains active until such time as it is idle for three minutes
or more.
The rpc.smserverd daemon is provided for the exclusive use of the
client applications mentioned above. It has no external, customer-
accessible interfaces, including no configuration file.
