     The ggggllllbbbb____ssssiiiitttteeee....ttttxxxxtttt file lists the network addresses  of  hosts
     where a Global Location Broker (GLB) daemon may be running.

     There are two versions of the GLB daemon:  ggggllllbbbbdddd and  nnnnrrrrggggllllbbbbdddd.
     We  provide the replicatable version, ggggllllbbbbdddd, only for Apollo,
     SunOS, and ULTRIX systems.  For other  systems,  we  provide
     the non-replicatable version, nnnnrrrrggggllllbbbbdddd.

     Ordinarily, programs contact a GLB by  broadcasting  on  the
     local  network.  However, some systems do not support broad-
     casting.  Also,  in  certain  internet  configurations,  not
     every  network  can  have  a GLB.  (This typically occurs in
     internets that use nnnnrrrrggggllllbbbbdddd, but  it  can  also  occur  in  an
     internet  that  uses ggggllllbbbbdddd if not all networks include a host
     that can run a ggggllllbbbbdddd.)  For hosts that cannot  locate  a  GLB
     via  broadcast,  the  ggggllllbbbb____ssssiiiitttteeee....ttttxxxxtttt  file  provides a list of
     addresses where the host can try to directly contact a GLB.

     Each line in ggggllllbbbb____ssssiiiitttteeee....ttttxxxxtttt contains a network address where a
     GLB may be running.  Hosts that have a ggggllllbbbb____ssssiiiitttteeee....ttttxxxxtttt file try
     these addresses in order.  Each address  has  the  following
     form:   _f_a_m_i_l_y::::_h_o_s_t  The  _f_a_m_i_l_y  is  the textual name of an
     address family.  Possible values include iiiipppp and ddddddddssss.

     The _h_o_s_t is a host name.  A leading # can be used  to  indi-
     cate that the host name is in the standard numeric form (for
     example, ####111199992222....9999....8888....7777 or ####555511115555cccc....111111111111gggg).

     Blank lines and lines beginning with #### are ignored.

     If a host has a ggggllllbbbb____ssssiiiitttteeee....ttttxxxxtttt file but does not find a GLB at
     any of the addresses listed in the file, the host then tries
     to locate one via broadcast.

     See _M_a_n_a_g_i_n_g _N_C_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e  for  information  about  Location
     Broker configuration.
