+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rpcbind
+.Nd universal addresses to RPC program number mapper
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl dilLs
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a server that converts
+.Tn RPC
+program numbers into
+universal addresses.
+It must be running on the host to be able to make
+.Tn RPC
+calls
+on a server on that machine.
+.Pp
+When an
+.Tn RPC
+service is started,
+it tells
+.Nm
+the address at which it is listening,
+and the
+.Tn RPC
+program numbers it is prepared to serve.
+When a client wishes to make an
+.Tn RPC
+call to a given program number,
+it first contacts
+.Nm
+on the server machine to determine
+the address where
+.Tn RPC
+requests should be sent.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+should be started before any other RPC service.
+Normally, standard
+.Tn RPC
+servers are started by port monitors, so
+.Nm
+must be started before port monitors are invoked.
+.Pp
+When
+.Nm
+is started, it checks that certain name-to-address
+translation-calls function correctly.
+If they fail, the network configuration databases may be corrupt.
+Since
+.Tn RPC
+services cannot function correctly in this situation,
+.Nm
+reports the condition and terminates.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+can only be started by the super-user.
+.Sh OPTIONS
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl d
+Run in debug mode.
+In this mode,
+.Nm
+will not fork when it starts, will print additional information
+during operation, and will abort on certain errors.
+With this option, the name-to-address translation consistency
+checks are shown in detail.
+.It Fl i
+.Dq insecure
+mode.
+Allows calls to SET and UNSET from any host.
+Normally
+.Nm
+accepts these requests only from the loopback interface for security reasons.
+This change is necessary for programs that were compiled with earlier
+versions of the rpc library and do not make those requests using the
+loopback interface.
+.It Fl l
+Turns on libwrap connection logging.
+.It Fl s
+causes
+.Nm
+to change to the user daemon as soon as possible.
+This causes
+.Nm
+to use non-privileged ports for outgoing connections, preventing non-privileged
+clients from using
+.Nm
+to connect to services from a privileged port.
+.It Fl L
+Allow old-style local connections over the loopback interface.
+Without this flag, local connections are only allowed over a local socket,

+All RPC servers must be restarted if
+.Nm
+is restarted.
