Description

The rpc.pmfd daemon is Oracle's ONC RPC server for serving the process monitor facility that is used by Oracle Solaris Cluster software. This daemon initially starts when the system comes up.

The rpc.pmfd daemon must be started as superuser so commands that are queued to be monitored can be run as the user that submitted them.
