It has the ability +to act as a synthetic NSM client for sending artificial NSM calls to any +host you choose. + +It also has an NLM simulator that implements the call that statd uses to +communicate with lockd. The daemon simulator will start itself up, +register as an NLM service and listen for "downcalls" from statd. When +it gets one, it will log a message. + +Note that lockd will need to be down when using the daemon simulator. It +also does not implement the entire NLM protocol and is only really +useful for testing statd's downcall. |
