/var/run/ncpm_dns world write

[David Rodman]

Does any one have a pointer to what the socket
/var/run/ncpm_dns does and why it could or should be world writeable?
Thanks

[David Rodman]

OK, scratch the question of what it does... and I can kind of understand why it is world write. Why is it running when I don't have an ncpm and how can it be turned off?

It is a soon to be discontinued product, called Network Connection Policy Manager.

For more information on it, including configuration information, see the manual at

If you do not want it to run upon start up, then set the START_NCPM=0 in /etc/rc.config.d/ncpm

ncpmd is not running on my machine, and I can't find what is setting up the socket.
Would setting up a ncpm.conf really have any effect?
I have grep-ped thru the /sbin/init.d looking for ncpm
with no effect.

How about in /etc/rc.config.d?
