MIREDO-SERVER(8)            System Manager's Manual           MIREDO-SERVER(8)


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.

       /var/run/miredo-server.pid
              The process-id file.
