28.Dt NFSCBD 8
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm nfscbd
32.Nd
33.Tn NFSv4
34client side callback daemon
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Nm nfscbd
37.Op Fl p Ar port_number
38.Op Fl P Ar client_principal
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40.Nm
41runs on a client using
42.Tn NFSv4
43to handle callback requests from the NFSv4 server.
44If no
45.Nm
46is running, NFSv4 mounts will still work, but the server will never issue
47Open Delegations to the client.
48.Pp
49One callback server and one master server
50are always started.
51.Pp
52The following options are available:
53.Bl -tag -width Ds
54.It Fl p Ar port_number
55Specifies what port# the callback server should use.
56.It Fl P Ar client_principal
57Specifies the host based principal name to be used as the target for
58callbacks over RPCSEC_GSS. For KerberosV, it must be in the client's
59default keytab file.
60This client_principal should be the same one specified by the
61.Cm gssname
62argument being used by nfsv4 mounts.
63If you do not specify this argument, callbacks will still work over AUTH_SYS,
64which is what many extant servers use even for RPCSEC_GSS mounts, as of 2009.
65.El
66.Pp
67For example,
68.Dq Li "nfscbd -p 7654 -P root"
69starts the daemon to handle callbacks on port# 7654 and is using the host based
70principal root@<client-host>.<dns-domain> as the callback target.
71.Pp
72.Nm
73listens for service requests at the port
74defined by NFSV4_CBPORT in /usr/include/fs/nfs/nfs.h, unless
75.Fl p
76has been specified.
77For more information on what callbacks and Open Delegations do, see
78.%T "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Protocol" ,
79RFC3530 .
80.Pp
81The
82.Nm
83utility exits 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
84.Sh SEE ALSO
85.Xr nfsv4 4 ,
86.Xr mount_nfs 8
87.Sh HISTORY
88First introduced with the experimental nfs client for NFSv4 support in 2009.
