ttdbserver(1M)		       ToolTalk Commands		ttdbserver(1M)

NAME
       ttdbserver, rpc.ttdbserverd - RPC-based ToolTalk database server

SYNOPSIS
       rpc.ttdbserverd [-G] [-m DTMOUNTPOINT_value] [-n] [-v] [-?]

DESCRIPTION
       rpc.ttdbserverd	manages ToolTalk objects created by tt_spec_create(3),
       and handles  certain  queries  related  to  the	netfiles  returned  by
       tt_file_netfile(3).   One instance of rpc.ttdbserverd (normally started
       by inetd) runs on each host that has  a	local  filesystem.   rpc.ttdb‐
       serverd serves four purposes:

       1.  Mapping  a spec to its associated file and a file to its associated
	  specs.

       2. Mapping a spec to its properties.

       3. Mapping a file to a list of sessions with  clients  having  patterns
	  registered in the scope of that file.

       4.    Answering	  netfile    queries;	see   tt_file_netfile(3)   and
	  tt_host_file_netfile(3).

       For each filesystem that rpc.ttdbserverd	 needs	to  store  information
       about,  it  creates  a directory called TT_DB at the mountpoint of that
       file system.  In that directory it creates the databases	 it  needs  to
       store  its  tables and indices.	If the partition is not writable, then
       rpc.ttdbserverd can be told, via partition_map(4), to create the	 data‐
       bases  in another local partition.  If rpc.ttdbserverd is not installed
       on a particular file server, ToolTalk can be told, via hostname_map(4),
       to  manage that file server's partitions using the rpc.ttdbserverd on a
       different host.

       rpc.ttdbserverd can be invoked by smf(5). the  service  identifier  is:
       svc:/network/rpc/cde-ttdbserver	.The  properties  are described in the
       SMF PROPERTIES section below.

OPTIONS
       -G     Perform garbage collection.  This cleans up the  TT_DB  directo‐
	      ries and the associated internal database files.

       -m DTMOUNTPOINT_value
	      Sets  the DTMOUNTPOINT environment variable for rpc.ttdbserverd.
	      If there is already an environment variable called DTMOUNTPOINT,
	      -m will override it.

       -S     Runs rpc.ttdbserverd in the foreground.

       -n     Turn  off	 permission  checking.	Normally the protection of the
	      file passed to tt_spec_create(3) determines  who	may  read  and
	      write  that spec.	 This option disables this checking and allows
	      anyone to read and write any spec.  This option should  be  used
	      with caution.

       -v     Print out the version number.

       -?     Prints out the command usage information.

ENVIRONMENT
       DTMOUNTPOINT
	      If  set,	the value of this environment variable will be used in
	      place of "/net" in pathnames constructed to answer  tt_host_net‐
	      file_file(3)  queries. This environment variable can also be set
	      by using the -m flag for rpc.ttdbserverd.

       TT_PARTITION_MAP
	      If $TT_PARTITION_MAP is set, it is used in place of /etc/tt/par‐
	      tition_map.  See partition_map(4).

SMF PROPERTIES
       Configuration  properties for the /usr/openwin/bin/rpc.ttdbserverd pro‐
       gram are managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under  the
       service identifier:

       svc:/network/rpc/cde-ttdbserver
       Use  svccfg(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration
       information for the instance "tcp" of this service.

       These properties can only be configured on the  instance	 of  rpc.ttdb‐
       serverd:

       ttdbserverd/gc
	      (Type  boolean)  Setting	this  to true performs garbage collec‐
	      tion.The default value is false.

       ttdbserverd/permchk
	      (Type boolean) Setting this to true enables permission checking.
	      The default value is false.

       cmsd/mountpoint
	      (Type  astring)  Setting	the DTMOUNTPOINT environments variable
	      for rpc.ttdbserverd.  The default value for this property is "".

FILES
       TT_DB/*		   spec and session database files  are	 kept  in  the
			   TT_DB  directory  under  each  disk partition mount
			   point.
       tt/hostname_map	   Host redirection map.  See hostname_map(4).
       /etc/tt/partition_map
			   Partition redirection map.  See partition_map(4).
