-.TH SRV 8 obsolete
-.SH NAME
-srv \- start services
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B lib/srv
-[
-.BI -n " nsfile"
-]
-[
-.B -v
-]
-[
-.B -s
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Srv
-starts listeners for local network services.
-It is now considered obsolete: see
-.IR svc (8),
-which replaces it using
-.IR sh (1)
-and
-.IR listen (1).
-.PP
-If the file
-.B /services/namespace
-exists,
-.I srv
-builds a new name space using
-.IR newns (2).
-The
-.B -n
-option may be used to supply a different file.
-.I Srv
-then starts a listener for each service configured in
-.BR /services/server/config .
-.PP
-The configuration file is a text file.
-Empty lines and lines beginning
-.B #
-are comments, and ignored.
-Each non-comment line has at least four fields:
-the server type, the service name, the network name on which to announce the service
-(typically
-.B tcp
-or
-.BR udp ),
-and the path name of the service command (module).
-Any further arguments are passed as arguments to that command.
-.PP
-Normally the server type field contains the letter
-.BR S ,
-and
-.I srv
-announces the service on the network itself, listens for incoming calls,
-and on each call invokes the command with any arguments given.
-The standard input and output of the command are set to refer to the
-network connection.
-If the server type field contains the letter
-.BR M ,
-however,
-.I srv
-starts the given command once during its own initialisation, and leaves the server
-to announce and manage its incoming calls.
-This is typically used to start self-contained services such as
-.B bootp
-and
-.BR tftpd .
-The diagnostics from all servers will appear on the standard
-error of
-.I srv
-itself.
-.PP
-For example, the default configuration file includes the following lines:
-.PP
-.EX
-.ps -2
-S infsigner       tcp /dis/auth/signer.dis 
-S infcsigner      tcp /dis/auth/countersigner.dis
-S inflogin        tcp /dis/auth/logind.dis         
-S styx            tcp /dis/lib/styxd.dis none clear sha md5 rc4 sha/rc4 md5/rc4
-S rstyx           tcp /dis/lib/rstyxd.dis none clear sha md5 rc4 sha/rc4 md5/rc4
-S infdb           tcp /dis/lib/dbsrv.dis  none clear sha md5 rc4 sha/rc4 md5/rc4
-S virgil          udp /dis/lib/virgild.dis
-.ps +2
-.EE
-.PP
-The arguments to
-.IR rstyxd
-and
-.IR stxyd
-(see
-.IR rstyxd (8)),
-and
-.IR dbsrv (7)
-should list the security algorithms supported by the server's
-.IR ssl (3).

-.IR listen (1),

-.IR svc (8)
-.SH BUGS
-Each service should arguably start in a minimal name space.
