3.4.1 Protoserver Daemon
The protoserver is a print system daemon that works with the name services
to enable a server process to access name and binding information of print
system objects.
The protoserver is the primary RPC server in the print system. Clients and
servers on remote hosts contact the protoserver on a server host to determine
the RPC binding information for other print system server processes.
The print system installation procedure adds a line to the /etc/inetd.conf
file so that the inetd daemon can automatically execute the protoserver
when it is needed.
