miredo-server - Teredo server for Unix
Contents
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.
Files
/etc/miredo/miredo-server.conf
The default configuration file.
/var/run/miredo-server.pid
The process-id file.
Name
miredo-server - Teredo server for Unix
Options
-cconfig_file or --configconfig_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.
-uusername or --userusername
Override the user that the program will run as. By default, it runs as nobody.
-V or --version

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.
