    8. 

  8. .LP
    9. 

  9. mcserv is the server program for the Midnight Commander networking
    10. 

  10. file system.  It provides access to the host file system to clients
    11. 

  11. running the Midnight file system (currently, only the Midnight
    12. 

  12. Commander file manager).
    13. 

  13. .PP
    14. 

  14. If the program is run as root the program will try to get a reserved
    15. 

  15. port otherwise it will use 9876 as the port.
    16. 

  16. .PP
    17. 

  17. If the system has a portmapper running, then the port will be
    18. 

  18. registered with the portmapper and thus clients will automatically
    19. 

  19. connect to the right port.  If the system does not have a portmapper,
    20. 

  20. then a port should be manually specified with the -p option (see
    21. 

  21. below).

  27. from one of the system startup files.  This flag will make the program
    28. 

  28. handle any number of incoming requests by forking a new copy of itself
    29. 

  29. for each client.

  53. .SH BUGS
    54. 

  54. This program currently uses port 9876, and not a system secure port.
    55. 

  55. This is a potential security problem since it could be run by any user
    56. 

  56. on the system if the system daemon is not running.
