Linux OS Service ‘rusersd’

by admin

rpc.rusersd is a server which returns information about users currently logged in to the system. The currently logged in users are queried using the rusers command. The rpc.rusersd daemon is normally invoked by inetd. rpc.rusersd uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rusers.x.

When starting the ‘rusersd’ service, it first starts the portmap service if not already running, then starts the ‘rpc.rusersd’ daemon. When stopping the ‘rusersd’ service, the rpc.rusersd daemon is terminated.

The rpm package providing rusersd is rusers-server.

Service Control

To enable/disable the ‘rusersd’ service, use the chkconfig utility:

# chkconfig rusersd on
# chkconfig --list rusersd
rusersd 0:off  1:off  2:on   3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off
# chkconfig rusersd off

To start/stop the ‘rusersd’ service, use the service utility:

# service rusersd
Usage: /etc/init.d/rusersd {start|stop|status|restart}

Configuration

The ‘rusersd’ service has no configuration file.
