nfsportmon(8)nfsportmon(8)NAMEnfsportmon - Turns the port monitor on or off
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nfsportmon option
OPTIONS
Turns the port monitor on. Turns the port monitor off.
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.
Turning the port monitor on is only in effect until the system is
rebooted. To turn the port monitor on each time the system is
rebooted, edit the /etc/inet.local file and add an nfsportmon entry to
it.
Only the superuser or root can run nfsportmon.
