The noop service is easy to execute because it does not require a REQ packet:
.nf
-amservice hostname bsdtcp noop < /dev/null.fi
+amservice hostname bsdtcp noop < /dev/null

.PP
The example executes the noop service on the client using bsdtcp auth\&. This is useful for debugging connection problems\&. It print an OPTIONS line upon success\&.
