Subsystems and subservers

A subsystem is a daemon, or server, that is controlled by the SRC. A subserver is a daemon that is controlled by a subsystem. (Daemon commands and daemon names are usually denoted by a d at the end of the name.)

The categories of subsystem and subserver are mutually exclusive. That is, daemons are not listed as both a subsystem and as a subserver. The only TCP/IP subsystem that controls other daemons is the inetd daemon. All TCP/IP subservers are also inetd subservers.

For a list of the TCP/IP daemons, see TCP/IP daemons.
