Here's part of the answer; do a man awacsd in terminal.


awacsd -- Apple Wide Area Connectivity Service daemon


awacsd is an executable invoked by launchd to facilitate connections between devices using Back to My Mac. Users cannot invoke awacsd from the command line.


Something related to MobileMe I think.
