NAME
     smtd - FDDI Station Management protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/smtd

DESCRIPTION
     smtd is the FDDI Station Management (SMT) protocol daemon.  It performs
     non-time critical SMT functions such as the SMT frame-based protocols
     (NIF and SRF), Ring Management protocol (RMT), Configuration Management
     (CMT), and status monitoring.  FDDI management and status monitor
     programs can access smtd using SNMP, the Simple Network Management
     Protocol, as defined in RFC 1067.  smtstat(1), smtinfo(1) and smtring(1M)
     are tools to query the daemon for various SMT information.

     smtd is invoked by smtconfig(1M) when an FDDI interface is configured.

     smtd logs its messages to syslog(3C).  By default, a logging level of
     LOG_ERR is used reporting only errors which cause termination, interface
     reset, or performance degradation.

     The following signals have the specified effect when sent to the server
     process using the kill(1) or killall(1M) commands.

     SIGUSR1   Increases debugging output; each SIGUSR1 increments the debug
               level.

     SIGUSR2   Decreases debugging output; each SIGUSR2 decrements the debug
               level.

     So with one SIGUSR1 signal sent to smtd, the debug level is LOG_WARNING.
     With three SIGUSR1 signals sent to smtd, the debug level is LOG_INFO.
