-</PRE>
-<P>This command does not use the syntax conventions of the AFS command
-suites. Provide the command name and all option names in full.
-<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
-<P>The <B>buserver</B> command initializes the Backup Server, which runs
-on database server machines and maintains the Backup Database. In the
-conventional configuration, the binary file is located in the
-<B>/usr/afs/bin</B> directory on a file server machine.
-<P>The <B>buserver</B> command is not normally issued at the command shell
-prompt, but rather placed into a database server machine's
-<B>/usr/afs/local/BosConfig</B> file with the <B>bos create</B>
-command. If it is ever issued at the command shell prompt, the issuer
-must be logged onto a file server machine as the local superuser
-<B>root</B>.
-<P>As it initializes, the Backup Server process creates the two files that
-constitute the Backup Database, <B>bdb.DB0</B> and
-<B>bdb.DBSYS1</B>, in the <B>/usr/afs/db</B> directory if they
-do not already exist. The Backup Database houses information about
-volume sets and entries, the dump hierarchy, Tape Coordinators, and previously
-performed dump sets. Use the commands in the <B>backup</B> suite to
-administer the database.
-<P>The Backup Server records a trace of its activity in the
-<B>/usr/afs/logs/BackupLog</B> file. Use the <B>bos getlog</B>
-command to display the contents of the file.
-<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
-<P>The <B>buserver</B> process reserves port <B>7021</B> for its
-use. Unexpected behavior can occur if another process tries to reserve
-this port while the <B>buserver</B> process is running.
-<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
-<DL>
-<P><DT><B>-database
-</B><DD>Specifies the pathname of an alternate directory for the Backup Database
-files, ending in a final slash (<B>/</B>). If this argument is not
-provided, the default is the <B>/usr/afs/db</B> directory.
-<P><DT><B>-cellservdb
-</B><DD>Specifies the pathname of the directory from which the Backup Server reads
-in an alternate version of the <B>CellServDB</B> file. This
-argument is mandatory for correct functioning when the Backup Server is
-running on a subset of the cell's database server machines that is not a
-majority of the machines listed in the standard
-<B>/usr/afs/etc/CellServDB</B> file (which the Backup Server consults if
-this argument is not provided). It is not appropriate in any other
-circumstances.
-<P><DT><B>-resetdb
-</B><DD>Removes all of the information in the Backup Database files in the
-<B>/usr/afs/db</B> directory, leaving zero-length versions of them.
-The backup operator must recreate the configuration entries in the database
-(for volume sets, the dump hierarchy and so on) before performing backup
-operations.
-<P><DT><B>-noauth
-</B><DD>Establishes an unauthenticated connection between the issuer and the
-Backup Server, in which the Backup Server treats the issuer as the
-unprivileged user <B>anonymous</B>. It is useful only when
-authorization checking is disabled on the database server machine. In
-normal circumstances, the Backup Server allows only authorized (privileged)
-users to issue commands that affect or contact the Backup Database, and
-refuses to perform such an action even if the <B>-noauth</B> flag is
-used.
-<P><DT><B>-smallht
-</B><DD>Directs the Backup Server to use smaller internal hash tables for the
-Backup Database, which reduces memory requirements but can make data access
-take longer.
-<P><DT><B>-servers
-</B><DD>Specifies the database server machines on which to start the Backup
-Server. Use this argument if running the Backup Server on a subset of
-the database server machines that is not a majority of the machines listed in
-the <B>/usr/afs/etc/CellServDB</B> file.
-<P><DT><B>-enable_peer_stats
-</B><DD>Activates the collection of Rx statistics and allocates memory for their
-storage. For each connection with a specific UDP port on another
-machine, a separate record is kept for each type of RPC (FetchFile, GetStatus,
-and so on) sent or received. To display or otherwise access the
-records, use the Rx Monitoring API.
-<P><DT><B>-enable_process_stats
-</B><DD>Activates the collection of Rx statistics and allocates memory for their
-storage. A separate record is kept for each type of RPC (FetchFile,
-GetStatus, and so on) sent or received, aggregated over all connections to
-other machines. To display or otherwise access the records, use the Rx
-Monitoring API.
-<P><DT><B>-help
-</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
-are ignored.
-</DL>
-<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
-<P>The following example <B>bos create</B> command creates a
-<B>buserver</B> process on the file server machine
-<B>fs3.abc.com</B>. It appears here on two lines only
-for legibility.
-<PRE> % <B>bos create -server fs3.abc.com -instance buserver</B> \
- <B>-type simple -cmd /usr/afs/bin/buserver</B>
-
-</PRE>
-<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
-<P>The issuer must be logged in as the superuser <B>root</B> on a file
-server machine to issue the command at a command shell prompt. It is
-conventional instead to create and start the process by issuing the <B>bos
-create</B> command.
