plpnfsd !!!plpnfsd NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS FILES SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME plpnfsd - Daemon to mount a Psion an nfs like filesystem !!SYNOPSIS __plpnfsd [[-V] [[-v] [[-p__ ''port''__] [[-d__ ''mountdir''__] [[-u__ ''user''__]__ !!DESCRIPTION plpnfsd is a daemon, which provides NFS-like access to your Psion. It automatically makes the psion's filesystems available below an NFS-mounted directory (default /mnt/psion). By default, plpnfsd is installed suid-root, so any normal user can start it and get's the mounted directory owned by himself. As this program is usually used on single-user machines, this does not hurt security. Like the others, this program auto-reconnects after a link-failure, so you can keep the psion mounted all the time, even when it is not connected. Due to Rudolf Koenig's clever error-handling, you don't need to worry about blocked io-processes if the psion isn't available. You simply will get an !!OPTIONS __-V__ Display the version and exit __-v__ Produce verbose logging output. Can be specified more than once to increase the debug level (up to 3 times) __-p__ ''port'' Specify the port to connect to (e.g. the port where ncpd is listening on) - by default, the port is looked up in /etc/services. If it is not found there, a fallback builtin of ''7501.'' __-d__ ''mountdir'' Specify the directory to mount the psion file system on. This defaults to ''/var/lib/plptools/mnt'' __-u__ ''user'' Specify the user who will own the psion files. This defaults to the user who is running plpnfsd. If the user running plpnfsd is ''root'' , s/he may also specify a different user. !!FILES Below the special directory /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc there are several special files which can be used to control plpnfsd and/or view some information of the connected Psion. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/exit can be used to shutdown plpnfsd gracefully. To shutdown plpnfsd write the string /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/owner shows the Psion's owner information. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/unixowner The superuser (root) can set the owner of the mounted directory-tree during runtime by writing the desired username into this file. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/debuglevel Reading/writing from/to this file shows resp. sets the debug level. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/acache Reading/writing from/to this file shows resp. sets the timeout value for the attribute cache in seconds. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/dcache Reading/writing from/to this file shows resp. sets the timeout value for the data cache in seconds. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/ Shows the name of the corresponding process on the Psion. /var/lib/plptools/mnt/proc/ Shows the arguments of the corresponding process on the Psion. !!SEE ALSO ncpd(8), plpftp(1) !!AUTHOR Fritz Elfert Heavily based on p3nfsd by Rudolf Koenig (rfkoenig@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de) and plp_1_7 by Philip Proudman (phil@proudman51.freeserve.co.uk) Patches from Matt Gumbley (matt@gumbley.demon.co.uk) Man page by John Lines (john+plpman@paladin.demon.co.uk) ----
