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, /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¶
- /etc/miredo/miredo-server.conf
- The default configuration file.
- /var/run/miredo-server.pid
- The process-id file.
