     dtspcd(1m)	       UNIX System V (1 August 1995)	    dtspcd(1m)

     NAME
	  dtspcd - CDE Subprocess Control Service

     SYNOPSIS
	  dtspcd    [ -debug ] [ -log ] [ -auth_dir directory ]	     [
	  -timeout num_minutes ] [ -mount_point mount_point ]

     DESCRIPTION
	  The daemon for the CDE Subprocess Control service, dtspcd,
	  is not intended to be started directly by the user, rather
	  it should be started automatically by the inetd daemon (see
	  inetd(1M)) in response to a CDE client requesting a process
	  to be started on the daemon's host.

     OPTIONS
	     -auth_dir	directory
			    The default authentication directory is
			    the user's $HOME directory.	 This option
			    allows the system administrator to use a
			    different directory.  Note that directory
			    must be exported to hosts wishing to use
			    the dtspc service.
			    directory - the name of the directory to
			    use for authentication.

	     -timeout  minutes
			    By default, the dtspcd process will
			    terminate if it does not have any activity
			    (process start or process stop) for 10
			    minutes and dtspcd has no child processes
			    running.  To change the timeout, set
			    minutes to the desired number of minutes.
			    To force the daemon to not use a timer,
			    set minutes to -1.
			    minutes - the number of minutes for the
			    timer.

	     -mount_point  mount_point
			    The file system's mount point is named
			    mount_point.  For example, mount_point
			    could be "/net" or "/nfs".	The daemon
			    sets the environment variable DTMOUNTPOINT
			    to the value of mount_point.  This value
			    of DTMOUNTPOINT will override all other
			    definitions of DTMOUNTPOINT.

	     -log	    This option turns on logging of status
			    information to the file
			    /var/dt/tmp/DTSPCD.log.  The information
			    logged includes the name of the client
			    host, the client's username, error

			    messages and the name of the file used for
			    authentication.  The default is to not do
			    any logging.

	     -debug	    This option turns on logging of dtspc
			    protocol to the file
			    /var/dt/tmp/DTSPCD.log.  The protocol
			    information logged includes the name of
			    the protocol and number of bytes in the
			    request.  The default is to not log the
			    protocol.

     AUTHENTICATION
	  When a CDE client attempts to connect to a dtspcd daemon,
	  the client sends the daemon its username.  The daemon uses
	  the username to determine the user's home directory on the
	  daemon's host.  The home directory is used during
	  authentication and it must be readable by the daemon and
	  writable by the client.  Therefore, the user's home
	  directory on the daemon's host must be mounted to the client
	  host.	 If the user's home directory is not readable and the
	  -auth_dir command line option is not used, the directory
	  /var/dt/tmp will be used.

	  To use a directory other than the user's home directory for
	  authentication, use the -auth_dir command line option.

     CONFIGURATION
	  The dtspcd daemon is an Internet service that must be
	  registered in the file /etc/services as follows:

	       dtspc	  6112/tcp

	  and in the file /etc/inetd.conf as follows:

	       dtspc  stream  tcp  nowait  root	 /usr/dt/bin/dtspcd/usr/dt/bin/dtspcd

     ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE MANAGEMENT
	  The CDE Subprocess Control service allows the user and
	  system administrator to create files of environment variable
	  definitions to be placed in the processes environment before
	  a remote process is started.	See dtspcdenv(4M) for more
	  information.

     OPERATING SYSTEM DEPENDENCIES
	  On HP-UX, the file /usr/adm/inetd.sec may be used to control
	  access to the dtspcd daemon.	See inetd.sec(4) for more
	  information.

     FILES
	     /usr/dt/bin/dtspcd
			    The CDE Subprocess Control daemon
