server
     
        1. a program which provides some service to other client
        programs.  the connection between client and server is
        normally by means of message passing, often over a network,
        and uses some protocol to encode the client's requests and
        the server's responses.  the server may run continuously as a
        daemon, waiting for requests to arrive or it may be invoked
        by some higher level daemon which controls a number of
        specific servers inetd on unix.  there are many servers
        associated with the internet, such as those for network file
        system, network information service nis, domain name
        system dns, ftp, news, finger, network time
        protocol.  on unix, a long list can be found in /etc/services
        or in the nis database "services".  see client-server.
     
        2. a computer which provides some service for other computers
        connected to it via a network.  the most common example is a
        file server which has a local disk and services requests
        from remote clients to read and write files on that disk,
        often using sun's network file system nfs protocol or
        novell netware on ibm pcs.
