NAME
       dnetnml - DECnet Network Management Listener

SYNOPSIS
       dnetnml [options]
       Options:
       [-dVh]

DESCRIPTION
       dnetnml	is  a  daemon  that  serves  incoming management requests from
       remote systems, usually NCP in the case of VMS and RSX.	It  is	recom‐
       mended  that  the daemon be run from dnetd by adding the following line
       to /etc/dnetd.conf:
       NML	      19	 N	   nobody	dnetnml

       Currently it only serves a subset of information	 requests.  These  are
       (in NCP terms):
       SHOW KNOWN NODES
       SHOW ADJACENT NODES
       SHOW EXEC CHAR
       SHOW KNOWN OBJECTS
       SHOW KNOWN LINKS
       Note  that  for SHOW KNOWN OBJECTS to work, /etc/dnetd.conf needs to be
       readable by the daemon user (usually 'nobody')  or  it  will  return  a
       Privilege  Violation.  There  is no sensitive data in this file so it's
       quite OK to set the  permissions	 to  0644.  Though  this  is  not  the
       default.

OPTIONS
       -d     Don't fork and run the background. Use this for debugging.

       -v     Verbose.	The  more  of these there are the more verbose dnetnml
	      will be. Don't use more than one for normal operation because it
	      will seriously impair performance.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of dnetnml.

BUGS
       Probably	 lots,	particularly as some of the functions are undocumented
       and I've had to reverse-engineer them.  SHOW KNOWN LINKS	 doesn't  show
       quite  the same information as VMS does. dnetnml relies on the informa‐
       tion it can get from /proc/net/decnet so it can't  show	load  PIDs  or
       processes unfortunately.
