28.Dt NFSCBD 8
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm nfscbd
32.Tn NFSv4
33client side callback daemon
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm nfscbd
36.Op Fl p Ar port_number
37.Op Fl P Ar client_principal
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39.Nm
40runs on a client using
41.Tn NFSv4
42to handle callback requests from the NFSv4 server.
43If no
44.Nm
45is running, NFSv4 mounts will still work, but the server will never issue
46Open Delegations to the client.
47.Pp
48One callback server and one master server
49are always started.
50.Pp
51The following options are available:
52.Bl -tag -width Ds
53.It Fl p Ar port_number
54Specifies what port# the callback server should use.
55.It Fl P Ar client_principal
56Specifies the host based principal name to be used as the target for
57callbacks over RPCSEC_GSS. For KerberosV, it must be in the client's
58default keytab file.
59This client_principal should be the same one specified by the
60.Cm gssname
61argument being used by nfsv4 mounts.
62If you do not specify this argument, callbacks will still work over AUTH_SYS,
63which is what many extant servers use even for RPCSEC_GSS mounts, as of 2009.
64.El
65.Pp
66For example,
67.Dq Li "nfscbd -p 7654 -P root"
68starts the daemon to handle callbacks on port# 7654 and is using the host based
69principal root@<client-host>.<dns-domain> as the callback target.
70.Pp
71.Nm
72listens for service requests at the port
73defined by NFSV4_CBPORT in /usr/include/fs/nfs/nfs.h, unless
74.Fl p
75has been specified.
76For more information on what callbacks and Open Delegations do, see
77.%T "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Protocol" ,
78RFC3530 .
79.Pp
80The
81.Nm
82utility exits 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
83.Sh SEE ALSO
84.Xr nfsv4 4 ,
85.Xr mount_nfs 8
86.Sh HISTORY
87First introduced with the experimental nfs client for NFSv4 support in 2009.
