The seagent Daemon

The seagent daemon waits for connections on the seoslang2 TCP service (whose default value is 8891). When a connection request arrives, seagent forks a child process to handle the communication on the connection and then continues waiting for new connections.

When a user enters the hosts command in selang, seagent forks a child process on the machine that the user is connected to. The child process then receives commands from the command language interface and passes them on to the sepmdd daemon.
