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.
