NAME
nfsportmon - Turns the port monitor on or off
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nfsportmon option
FLAGS
Turns on the port monitor. Turns off the port monitor.
DESCRIPTION
The nfsportmon command turns the port monitor on or off at the kernel
level. By default, the port monitor is turned off.
When the port monitor is on, NFS server port checking is activated.
This checking increases system security by ensuring that file access
requests were generated by the client kernel rather than by a forged
application program, for example.
Only the superuser or root can run nfsportmon.
FILES
Contains the command script for automatic reboot and daemons.
