NAME
- virgild - connection service for remote clients
SYNOPSIS
-
ndb/cs
ip/virgild DESCRIPTION
-
Virgild
receives requests for name service on UDP/IP
port
virgil,
defined as
2202 by
services(6),
and hard-coded in
virgil(2).
Each request has the form:
- userid?machine-name
Virgild translates the machine-name using the local connection server (see cs(8)), and sends a response of the following form to the requesting client:
- userid?machine-name=network-address
If the machine-name cannot be translated, virgild makes no response; unless another server replies, the client's request will time out.
Virgild requires that cs(8) be running before it is started.

- rcmd(1), cs(8)
BUGS
-
The
userid
part is currently unused but must still be included.
Virgild is single threaded: a delay in translating a name for one client will delay response to any subsequent clients.
