nvtd(PADM)


nvtd -- handle requests from clients to connect to NVT server

Syntax

nvtd [-v]

Description

nvtd(PADM) is the Novell Virtual Terminal (NVT) daemon. It receives NVT requests (connect, disconnect, and data) from clients, and handles the terminal emulation for each connection.

The Network Configuration Manager allows you to set the maximum number of simultaneous NVT connections, and to specify a file from which nvtd prints login banners. These configuration parameters are documented in ``NVT logins'' in Configuring Network Connections and ``NVT login banner file'' in Configuring Network Connections. nvtd reads the file /etc/ipx.d/NPSConfig for its configuration information.

The NVT protocol is implemented in the kernel and does not involve nvtd. Its configuration parameters are found in the file /etc/conf/pack.d/nvt/nvt_tune.h.

nvtd is started by npsd(PADM) at system start-up time.

nvtd takes the following option:


-v
Turns on verbose mode, so that nvtd prints the version number, the banner file it is using for login, and all login requests it receives.
