-.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.
-.Pp
-Access control is provided by
-.Pa /etc/hosts.allow
-and
-.Pa /etc/hosts.deny ,
-as described in
-.Xr hosts_access 5
-with daemon name
-.Nm .
-.Sh OPTIONS
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.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,
-.Pa /var/run/rpcbind.sock
-.El
-.Sh NOTES
-All RPC servers must be restarted if
-.Nm
-is restarted.
-.Sh FILES
