# NAME

`rpc.sprayd`, `sprayd` —
spray server

# SYNOPSIS

`/usr/libexec/rpc.sprayd` |

# DESCRIPTION

`rpc.sprayd` is a server which records packets sent by the spray(8) command and sends a traffic report to the originator of the packets. The `rpc.sprayd` daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).

`rpc.sprayd` uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/spray.x.

# SEE ALSO

spray(8)

# SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

As `rpc.sprayd` responds to packets generated by spray(8), remote users can cause a denial of network service against the local host by saturating requests to `rpc.sprayd`.
