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  connec-
     tivity  through  Teredo. A Teredo server must have two global static subse-
     quent 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  poten-
     tial 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.

SEE ALSO
