VIRGILD(8)							    VIRGILD(8)

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 request‐
       ing 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.

SOURCE
       /appl/cmd/ip/virgild.b

SEE ALSO
       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.
