NAME
miredo-server - Teredo server for Unix
SYNOPSIS
miredo-server [-c config_file] [-f] [-u user]
[server_name]
DESCRIPTON
Miredo-server
is an Unix daemon program which implements a Teredo server as specified
by the "Teredo: Tunneling IPv6 over UDP through NATs" Internet proposed
standard (RFC 4380).
A Teredo server is required for Teredo clients to setup their IPv6
connectivity through Teredo. A Teredo server must have two global
static subsequent IPv4 addresses. It receives packets from Teredo
clients and Teredo relays on UDP port 3544.
OPTIONS
- -c config_file or --config config_file
-
Specify an alternate configuration file for Miredo instead of the
default, /usr/local/etc/miredo/miredo-server.conf.
- -f or --foreground
-
Do not detach from the console. Run the program in the foreground.
- -h or --help
-
Display some help and exit.
- -u username or --user username
-
Override the user that the program will run as. By default, it runs as
nobody.
- -V or --version
-
Display program version and license and exit.
SECURITY
miredo-server
requires
root
privileges to create open a raw IPv6 socket that is used to emit ICMPv6
Echo Request packets. Once its initialization is complete, it will
setgid, chroot into an empty directory and ultimately
setuid (see option -u), so as to decrease the system's
exposure to potential security issues.
SIGNALS
SIGHUP Force a reload of the daemon.
SIGINT, SIGTERM Shutdown the daemon.
SIGUSR1, SIGUSR2 Do nothing, might be used in future
versions.
FILES
- /usr/local/etc/miredo/miredo-server.conf
-
The default configuration file.
- /usr/local/var/run/miredo-server.pid
-
The process-id file.
