SYNOPSIS
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.

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.
