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.
