-.Sh NAME
-.Nm rpcbind
-.Nd universal addresses to RPC program number mapper
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl 6adiLls
-.Op Fl h Ar bindip
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility 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
-The
-.Nm
-utility 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
-The
-.Nm
-utility can only be started by the super-user.
-.Sh OPTIONS
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl 6
-Bind to AF_INET6 (IPv6) addresses only.
-.It Fl a
-When debugging
-.Pq Fl d ,
-do an abort on errors.
-.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 if
-.Fl a
-is also specified.
-With this option, the name-to-address translation consistency
-checks are shown in detail.
-.It Fl h Ar bindip
-Specify specific IP addresses to bind to for TCP and UDP requests.
-This option
-may be specified multiple times and is typically necessary when running
-on a multi-homed host.
-If no
-.Fl h
-option is specified,
-.Nm
-will bind to
-.Dv INADDR_ANY ,
-which could lead to problems on a multi-homed host due to
-.Nm
-returning a UDP packet from a different IP address than it was
-sent to.
-Note that when specifying IP addresses with
-.Fl h ,
-.Nm
-will automatically add
-.Li 127.0.0.1
-and if IPv6 is enabled,
-.Li ::1
-to the list.
-.It Fl i
-.Dq Insecure
-mode.
-Allow 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
-Allow old-style local connections over the loopback interface.
-Without this flag, local connections are only allowed over a local socket,
-.Pa /var/run/rpcbind.sock .
-.It Fl l
-Turn on libwrap connection logging.
-.It Fl s
-Cause
-.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.
-.El
-.Sh NOTES
-All RPC servers must be restarted if
-.Nm
-is restarted.
