Hi,

As far as I recall ncs is used by openspool print services.
It's RPC based and is used for registering ports in llbd (local location broker deamon) database.
See also lb_admin manpages.
Openspool device servers are making use of this !

Hi,

Ref:


One key problem in client/server applications is how a client finds the appropriate servers. The NCS Location Brokers solve
this problem. A Location Broker is a program that keeps track of the
locations of servers. A client can ask a Location Broker for the
location of the server for a particular set of procedures (called an
interface). NCS provides the client and server with intrinsics for
registering and finding information through the Location Brokers.

There are two types of Location Brokers. The first is a Local Location
Broker Daemon (LLBD) that runs on every system on the network. The LLBD
knows about the servers that are running on its own local system. The
second Location Broker is the Non-Replicated Global Location Broker
Daemon (NRGLBD) that runs on the network. It knows about all the servers
on the network that are globally registered.
