NAME

       phoned - DECnet phone server daemon

SYNOPSIS

       phoned [options]
       Options:
       [-dvVh] [-u user]

DESCRIPTION

       phoned is a daemon that serves phone clients. It must be running for any users to the phone command.

OPTIONS

       -u     Specifies  the  username  that  phoned runs as. By default this is "nobody". If this user does not
              exist then phoned will run as root which could be a security hole.
              NOTE that phoned must be started as root to allow it to bind to the phone DECnet object.  -d Don't
              fork and run the background. Use this for debugging.

       -v     Verbose. The more of these there are the more verbose phoned will be. Don't use more than one  for
              normal operation because it will seriously impair performance.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of phoned.
