NAME
   port - an mwadm command, administers the MainWin System Core (MSC) 
          RPCSS port allocation.

SYNOPSIS
   mwadm port [-amode {auto | {fixed <port_no>}} ] 

DESCRIPTION
   The port command is used to control the port used by the MSC RPCSS 
   service. 
   
   When used with no parameters, this command prints the current setting.

   Note:  Under the 'auto' mode, distributed COM is not supported. To enable 
   distributed COM with other Unix hosts, the mode must be changed to 'fixed'
   and the port number must be set to the same port number on all Unix hosts 
   that are to participate in the DCOM interaction. To enable DCOM interaction
   with Windows (and possibly Unix too), the fixed port number must be set to 
   135 on all relevant Unix hosts.

   Note: For the new setting to take effect, the MSC services must be restarted
   (see 'mwadm start').
   

OPTIONS
   -amode auto | {fixed <port_no>}		
     Defines how the MSC RPCSS service allocates the number of the port it 
     attempts to attach to when it starts.

       auto
         Instructs the RPCSS service to use the first available port. 
         This is the default. 

       fixed <port_no>
         Instructs the RPCSS service to attach itself to a specific, 
         pre-defined port: <port_no>.
     
EXAMPLES
   Example 1: Instruct the RPCSS server to always use port 135:
   example% mwadm port -amode fixed 135

   Example 2: Display the port allocation setting currently in effect:
   example% mwadm port
   example% fixed (135)
