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.
