NAME
     dcs - domain configuration server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/dcs [ -s  sessions  ]

DESCRIPTION
     The domain configuration server (DCS) is  a  daemon  process
     that  runs on Sun servers that support remote dynamic recon-
     figuration (DR) clients. It is started by inetd(1M) when the
     first DR request is received from a client connecting to the
     network service sun-dr.  After the DCS accepts a DR request,
     it  uses  the  libcfgadm(3LIB)  interface  to execute the DR
     operation. After the operation is performed, the results are
     returned to the client.

     The DCS listens on the network service labeled  sun-dr.  Its
     underlying  protocol  is  TCP, and it is invoked as an inetd
     server using the TCP transport. The entries for the  DCS  in
     the /etc/inet/inetd.conf file are as follows:

     sun-dr stream tcp  wait root /usr/lib/dcs dcs
     sun-dr stream tcp6 wait root /usr/lib/dcs dcs

     These entries enable remote  DR  operations.  Removing  them
     does  not  negatively  impact  the  server;  however, all DR
     operations initiated from a remote host would fail.

OPTIONS
     -s sessions
           Sets the number of active sessions that the DCS allows
           at  any  one  time. When the limit is reached, the DCS
           stops accepting connections until active sessions com-
           plete  the  execution  of  their DR operation. If this
           option is not specified, a default  value  of  128  is
           used.

ERRORS
     The DCS uses syslog(3C) to report status and error messages.
     All of the messages are logged with the LOG_DAEMON facility.
     Error messages are logged with the  LOG_ERR  and  LOG_NOTICE
     priorities,  and  informational messages are logged with the
     LOG_INFO   priority.   The   default    entries    in    the
     /etc/syslog.conf  file  log all of the DCS error messages to
     the /var/adm/messages log.
