25+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
26+.PP
27+Ping \fIdestination\fR on device \fIinterface\fR by ARP packets,
28+using source address \fIsource\fR.
29+.SH "OPTIONS"
30+.TP
31+\fB-A\fR
32+The same as \fB-U\fR, but ARP REPLY packets used instead
33+of ARP REQUEST.
34+.TP
35+\fB-b\fR
36+Send only MAC level broadcasts. Normally \fBarping\fR starts
37+from sending broadcast, and switch to unicast after reply received.
38+.TP
39+\fB-c \fIcount\fB\fR
40+Stop after sending \fIcount\fR ARP REQUEST
41+packets. With
42+\fIdeadline\fR
43+option, \fBarping\fR waits for
44+\fIcount\fR ARP REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.
45+.TP
46+\fB-D\fR
47+Duplicate address detection mode (DAD). See
48+RFC2131, 4.4.1.
49+Returns 0, if DAD succeeded i.e. no replies are received
50+.TP
51+\fB-f\fR
52+Finish after the first reply confirming that target is alive.
53+.TP
54+\fB-I \fIinterface\fB\fR
55+Name of network device where to send ARP REQUEST packets. This option
56+is required.
57+.TP
58+\fB-h\fR
59+Print help page and exit.
60+.TP
61+\fB-q\fR
62+Quiet output. Nothing is displayed.
63+.TP
64+\fB-s \fIsource\fB\fR
65+IP source address to use in ARP packets.
66+If this option is absent, source address is:
67+.RS
68+.TP 0.2i
69+\(bu
70+In DAD mode (with option \fB-D\fR) set to 0.0.0.0.
71+.TP 0.2i
72+\(bu
73+In Unsolicited ARP mode (with options \fB-U\fR or \fB-A\fR)
74+set to \fIdestination\fR.
75+.TP 0.2i
76+\(bu
77+Otherwise, it is calculated from routing tables.
78+.RE
79+.TP
80+\fB-U\fR
81+Unsolicited ARP mode to update neighbours' ARP caches.
82+No replies are expected.
83+.TP
84+\fB-V\fR
85+Print version of the program and exit.
86+.TP
87+\fB-w \fIdeadline\fB\fR
88+Specify a timeout, in seconds, before
89+\fBarping\fR
90+exits regardless of how many
91+packets have been sent or received. In this case
92+\fBarping\fR
93+does not stop after
94+\fIcount\fR
95+packet are sent, it waits either for
96+\fIdeadline\fR
97+expire or until

[8867e46]133+.SH NAME
134+clockdiff \- measure clock difference between hosts
135+.SH SYNOPSIS
136+
137+\fBclockdiff\fR [\fB-o\fR] [\fB-o1\fR] \fB\fIdestination\fB\fR
138+
139+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
140+.PP
141+\fBclockdiff\fR Measures clock difference between us and
142+\fIdestination\fR with 1 msec resolution using ICMP TIMESTAMP
143+[2]
144+packets or, optionally, IP TIMESTAMP option
145+[3]
146+option added to ICMP ECHO.
147+[1]
148+.SH "OPTIONS"
149+.TP
150+\fB-o\fR
151+Use IP TIMESTAMP with ICMP ECHO instead of ICMP TIMESTAMP
152+messages. It is useful with some destinations, which do not support
153+ICMP TIMESTAMP (f.e. Solaris <2.4).
154+.TP
155+\fB-o1\fR
156+Slightly different form of \fB-o\fR, namely it uses three-term
157+IP TIMESTAMP with prespecified hop addresses instead of four term one.
158+What flavor works better depends on target host. Particularly,
159+\fB-o\fR is better for Linux.
160+.SH "WARNINGS"
161+.TP 0.2i
162+\(bu
163+Some nodes (Cisco) use non-standard timestamps, which is allowed
164+by RFC, but makes timestamps mostly useless.
165+.TP 0.2i
166+\(bu
167+Some nodes generate messed timestamps (Solaris>2.4), when
168+run \fBxntpd\fR. Seems, its IP stack uses a corrupted clock source,
169+which is synchronized to time-of-day clock periodically and jumps
170+randomly making timestamps mostly useless. Good news is that you can
171+use NTP in this case, which is even better.
172+.TP 0.2i
173+\(bu
174+\fBclockdiff\fR shows difference in time modulo 24 days.
175+.SH "SEE ALSO"

192+\fBclockdiff\fR was compiled by

194+<kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>. It was based on code borrowed

901+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
902+.PP
903+\fBipg\fR is not a program, it is script which should be sourced
904+to \fBbash\fR. When sourced it loads module \fIpg3\fR and
905+exports a few of functions accessible from parent shell. These macros
906+are \fBpg\fR to start packet injection and to get the results of run;
907+and \fBpgset\fR to setup packet generator.
908+.PP

915+.TP
916+\fBpkt_size \fIBYTES\fB\fR
917+Size of packet to generate. The size includes all the headers: UDP, IP,
918+MAC, but does not account for overhead internal to medium, i.e. FCS
919+and various paddings.
920+.TP
921+\fBfrags \fINUMBER\fB\fR
922+Each packet will contain \fINUMBER\fR of fragments.

936+it creates really tough stream. Default value is 0.0.0.0.
937+.TP
938+\fBdst \fIMAC_ADDRESS\fB\fR
939+Select MAC destination where the stream is sent to.
940+Default value is 00:00:00:00:00:00 in hope that this will not be received

946+.PP
947+When output device is set to some random device different
948+of hardware Ethernet device, \fBpg3\fR will crash kernel.
949+.PP
950+Do not use it on VLAN, ethertap, VTUN and other devices,
951+which emulate Ethernet not being real Ethernet in fact.

959+This tool creates floods of packets which is unlikely to be handled
960+even by high-end machines. For example, it saturates gigabit link with

985+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
986+.PP
987+\fBping\fR uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST
988+datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.
989+ECHO_REQUEST datagrams (``pings'') have an IP and ICMP
990+header, followed by a struct timeval and then an arbitrary
991+number of ``pad'' bytes used to fill out the packet.
992+.PP
993+\fBping6\fR can also send Node Information Queries (RFC4620).
994+.SH "OPTIONS"
995+.TP
996+\fB-a\fR
997+Audible ping.
998+.TP
999+\fB-A\fR
1000+Adaptive ping. Interpacket interval adapts to round-trip time, so that
1001+effectively not more than one (or more, if preload is set) unanswered probes
1002+present in the network. Minimal interval is 200msec for not super-user.
1003+On networks with low rtt this mode is essentially equivalent to flood mode.
1004+.TP
1005+\fB-b\fR
1006+Allow pinging a broadcast address.
1007+.TP
1008+\fB-B\fR
1009+Do not allow \fBping\fR to change source address of probes.
1010+The address is bound to one selected when \fBping\fR starts.
1011+.TP
1012+\fB-m \fImark\fB\fR
1013+use \fImark\fR to tag the packets going out. This is useful
1014+for variety of reasons within the kernel such as using policy
1015+routing to select specific outbound processing.
1016+.TP
1017+\fB-c \fIcount\fB\fR
1018+Stop after sending \fIcount\fR ECHO_REQUEST
1019+packets. With
1020+\fIdeadline\fR
1021+option, \fBping\fR waits for
1022+\fIcount\fR ECHO_REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.
1023+.TP
1024+\fB-d\fR
1025+Set the SO_DEBUG option on the socket being used.
1026+Essentially, this socket option is not used by Linux kernel.
1027+.TP
1028+\fB-F \fIflow label\fB\fR
1029+Allocate and set 20 bit flow label on echo request packets.
1030+(Only \fBping6\fR). If value is zero, kernel allocates random flow label.
1031+.TP
1032+\fB-f\fR
1033+Flood ping. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed,
1034+while for ever ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed.
1035+This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped.
1036+If interval is not given, it sets interval to zero and
1037+outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second,
1038+whichever is more.
1039+Only the super-user may use this option with zero interval.
1040+.TP
1041+\fB-i \fIinterval\fB\fR
1042+Wait \fIinterval\fR seconds between sending each packet.
1043+The default is to wait for one second between each packet normally,
1044+or not to wait in flood mode. Only super-user may set interval
1045+to values less 0.2 seconds.
1046+.TP
1047+\fB-I \fIinterface address\fB\fR
1048+Set source address to specified interface address. Argument
1049+may be numeric IP address or name of device. When pinging IPv6
1050+link-local address this option is required.
1051+.TP
1052+\fB-l \fIpreload\fB\fR
1053+If \fIpreload\fR is specified,
1054+\fBping\fR sends that many packets not waiting for reply.
1055+Only the super-user may select preload more than 3.
1056+.TP
1057+\fB-L\fR
1058+Suppress loopback of multicast packets. This flag only applies if the ping
1059+destination is a multicast address.
1060+.TP
1061+\fB-N \fInioption\fB\fR
1062+Send ICMPv6 Node Information Queries (RFC4620), instead of Echo Request.
1063+.RS

1066+Queries for Node Names.

1132+This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network.
1133+For example, \fB-p ff\fR will cause the sent packet
1134+to be filled with all ones.
1135+.TP
1136+\fB-D\fR
1137+Print timestamp (unix time + microseconds as in gettimeofday) before
1138+each line.
1139+.TP
1140+\fB-Q \fItos\fB\fR
1141+Set Quality of Service -related bits in ICMP datagrams.
1142+\fItos\fR can be either decimal or hex number.
1143+Traditionally (RFC1349), these have been interpreted as: 0 for reserved
1144+(currently being redefined as congestion control), 1-4 for Type of Service
1145+and 5-7 for Precedence.
1146+Possible settings for Type of Service are: minimal cost: 0x02,
1147+reliability: 0x04, throughput: 0x08, low delay: 0x10. Multiple TOS bits
1148+should not be set simultaneously. Possible settings for
1149+special Precedence range from priority (0x20) to net control (0xe0). You
1150+must be root (CAP_NET_ADMIN capability) to use Critical or
1151+higher precedence value. You cannot set
1152+bit 0x01 (reserved) unless ECN has been enabled in the kernel.
1153+In RFC2474, these fields has been redefined as 8-bit Differentiated
1154+Services (DS), consisting of: bits 0-1 of separate data (ECN will be used,
1155+here), and bits 2-7 of Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP).

1157+\fB-q\fR
1158+Quiet output.
1159+Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time and
1160+when finished.
1161+.TP
1162+\fB-R\fR
1163+Record route.
1164+Includes the RECORD_ROUTE option in the ECHO_REQUEST
1165+packet and displays the route buffer on returned packets.
1166+Note that the IP header is only large enough for nine such routes.
1167+Many hosts ignore or discard this option.
1168+.TP
1169+\fB-r\fR
1170+Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached
1171+interface.
1172+If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned.
1173+This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface
1174+that has no route through it provided the option \fB-I\fR is also
1175+used.
1176+.TP
1177+\fB-s \fIpacketsize\fB\fR
1178+Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent.
1179+The default is 56, which translates into 64 ICMP
1180+data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of ICMP header data.
1181+.TP
1182+\fB-S \fIsndbuf\fB\fR
1183+Set socket sndbuf. If not specified, it is selected to buffer
1184+not more than one packet.

1187+Set the IP Time to Live.
1188+.TP
1189+\fB-T \fItimestamp option\fB\fR
1190+Set special IP timestamp options.
1191+\fItimestamp option\fR may be either
1192+\fItsonly\fR (only timestamps),
1193+\fItsandaddr\fR (timestamps and addresses) or
1194+\fItsprespec host1 [host2 [host3 [host4]]]\fR
1195+(timestamp prespecified hops).
1196+.TP
1197+\fB-M \fIhint\fB\fR
1198+Select Path MTU Discovery strategy.
1199+\fIhint\fR may be either \fIdo\fR
1200+(prohibit fragmentation, even local one),
1201+\fIwant\fR (do PMTU discovery, fragment locally when packet size
1202+is large), or \fIdont\fR (do not set DF flag).
1203+.TP
1204+\fB-U\fR
1205+Print full user-to-user latency (the old behaviour). Normally
1206+\fBping\fR
1207+prints network round trip time, which can be different
1208+f.e. due to DNS failures.
1209+.TP
1210+\fB-v\fR
1211+Verbose output.
1212+.TP
1213+\fB-V\fR
1214+Show version and exit.
1215+.TP
1216+\fB-w \fIdeadline\fB\fR
1217+Specify a timeout, in seconds, before
1218+\fBping\fR
1219+exits regardless of how many
1220+packets have been sent or received. In this case
1221+\fBping\fR
1222+does not stop after
1223+\fIcount\fR
1224+packet are sent, it waits either for
1225+\fIdeadline\fR
1226+expire or until
1227+\fIcount\fR
1228+probes are answered or for some error notification from network.
1229+.TP
1230+\fB-W \fItimeout\fB\fR
1231+Time to wait for a response, in seconds. The option affects only timeout
1232+in absense of any responses, otherwise \fBping\fR waits for two RTTs.
1233+.PP
1234+When using \fBping\fR for fault isolation, it should first be run
1235+on the local host, to verify that the local network interface is up
1236+and running. Then, hosts and gateways further and further away should be
1237+``pinged''. Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed.
1238+If duplicate packets are received, they are not included in the packet
1239+loss calculation, although the round trip time of these packets is used
1240+in calculating the minimum/average/maximum round-trip time numbers.
1241+When the specified number of packets have been sent (and received) or
1242+if the program is terminated with a
1243+SIGINT, a brief summary is displayed. Shorter current statistics
1244+can be obtained without termination of process with signal
1245+SIGQUIT.
1246+.PP
1247+If \fBping\fR does not receive any reply packets at all it will
1248+exit with code 1. If a packet
1249+\fIcount\fR
1250+and
1251+\fIdeadline\fR
1252+are both specified, and fewer than
1253+\fIcount\fR
1254+packets are received by the time the
1255+\fIdeadline\fR
1256+has arrived, it will also exit with code 1.
1257+On other error it exits with code 2. Otherwise it exits with code 0. This
1258+makes it possible to use the exit code to see if a host is alive or
1259+not.
1260+.PP
1261+This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement and
1262+management.
1263+Because of the load it can impose on the network, it is unwise to use
1264+\fBping\fR during normal operations or from automated scripts.
1265+.SH "ICMP PACKET DETAILS"
1266+.PP
1267+An IP header without options is 20 bytes.
1268+An ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packet contains an additional 8 bytes worth
1269+of ICMP header followed by an arbitrary amount of data.
1270+When a \fIpacketsize\fR is given, this indicated the size of this
1271+extra piece of data (the default is 56). Thus the amount of data received
1272+inside of an IP packet of type ICMP ECHO_REPLY will always be 8 bytes
1273+more than the requested data space (the ICMP header).
1274+.PP
1275+If the data space is at least of size of struct timeval
1276+\fBping\fR uses the beginning bytes of this space to include
1277+a timestamp which it uses in the computation of round trip times.
1278+If the data space is shorter, no round trip times are given.
1279+.SH "DUPLICATE AND DAMAGED PACKETS"
1280+.PP
1281+\fBping\fR will report duplicate and damaged packets.
1282+Duplicate packets should never occur, and seem to be caused by
1283+inappropriate link-level retransmissions.
1284+Duplicates may occur in many situations and are rarely (if ever) a
1285+good sign, although the presence of low levels of duplicates may not
1286+always be cause for alarm.
1287+.PP
1288+Damaged packets are obviously serious cause for alarm and often
1289+indicate broken hardware somewhere in the
1290+\fBping\fR packet's path (in the network or in the hosts).
1291+.SH "TRYING DIFFERENT DATA PATTERNS"
1292+.PP
1293+The (inter)network layer should never treat packets differently depending
1294+on the data contained in the data portion.
1295+Unfortunately, data-dependent problems have been known to sneak into
1296+networks and remain undetected for long periods of time.
1297+In many cases the particular pattern that will have problems is something
1298+that doesn't have sufficient ``transitions'', such as all ones or all
1299+zeros, or a pattern right at the edge, such as almost all zeros.
1300+It isn't necessarily enough to specify a data pattern of all zeros (for
1301+example) on the command line because the pattern that is of interest is
1302+at the data link level, and the relationship between what you type and
1303+what the controllers transmit can be complicated.
1304+.PP
1305+This means that if you have a data-dependent problem you will probably
1306+have to do a lot of testing to find it.
1307+If you are lucky, you may manage to find a file that either can't be sent
1308+across your network or that takes much longer to transfer than other
1309+similar length files.
1310+You can then examine this file for repeated patterns that you can test
1311+using the \fB-p\fR option of \fBping\fR.
1312+.SH "TTL DETAILS"
1313+.PP
1314+The TTL value of an IP packet represents the maximum number of IP routers
1315+that the packet can go through before being thrown away.
1316+In current practice you can expect each router in the Internet to decrement
1317+the TTL field by exactly one.
1318+.PP
1319+The TCP/IP specification states that the TTL field for TCP
1320+packets should be set to 60, but many systems use smaller values
1321+(4.3 BSD uses 30, 4.2 used 15).
1322+.PP
1323+The maximum possible value of this field is 255, and most Unix systems set
1324+the TTL field of ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to 255.
1325+This is why you will find you can ``ping'' some hosts, but not reach them
1326+with
1327+\fBtelnet\fR(1)
1328+or
1329+\fBftp\fR(1).
1330+.PP
1331+In normal operation ping prints the ttl value from the packet it receives.
1332+When a remote system receives a ping packet, it can do one of three things
1333+with the TTL field in its response:
1334+.TP 0.2i
1335+\(bu
1336+Not change it; this is what Berkeley Unix systems did before the
1337+4.3BSD Tahoe release. In this case the TTL value in the received packet
1338+will be 255 minus the number of routers in the round-trip path.
1339+.TP 0.2i
1340+\(bu
1341+Set it to 255; this is what current Berkeley Unix systems do.
1342+In this case the TTL value in the received packet will be 255 minus the
1343+number of routers in the path \fBfrom\fR
1344+the remote system \fBto\fR the \fBping\fRing host.
1345+.TP 0.2i
1346+\(bu
1347+Set it to some other value. Some machines use the same value for
1348+ICMP packets that they use for TCP packets, for example either 30 or 60.
1349+Others may use completely wild values.
1350+.SH "BUGS"
1351+.TP 0.2i
1352+\(bu
1353+Many Hosts and Gateways ignore the RECORD_ROUTE option.
1354+.TP 0.2i
1355+\(bu
1356+The maximum IP header length is too small for options like
1357+RECORD_ROUTE to be completely useful.
1358+There's not much that that can be done about this, however.
1359+.TP 0.2i
1360+\(bu
1361+Flood pinging is not recommended in general, and flood pinging the
1362+broadcast address should only be done under very controlled conditions.
1363+.SH "SEE ALSO"
1364+.PP
1365+\fBnetstat\fR(1),
1366+\fBifconfig\fR(8).
1367+.SH "HISTORY"
1368+.PP
1369+The \fBping\fR command appeared in 4.3BSD.
1370+.PP
1371+The version described here is its descendant specific to Linux.
1372+.SH "SECURITY"
1373+.PP
1374+\fBping\fR requires CAP_NET_RAWIO capability
1375+to be executed. It may be used as set-uid root.
1376+.SH "AVAILABILITY"
1377+.PP
1378+\fBping\fR is part of \fIiputils\fR package

6535+\fBrdisc\fR [\fB-abdfstvV\fR] [\fB\fIsend_address\fB\fR] [\fB\fIreceive_address\fB\fR]
6536+
6537+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
6538+.PP
6539+\fBrdisc\fR implements client side of the ICMP router discover protocol.
6540+\fBrdisc\fR is invoked at boot time to populate the network
6541+routing tables with default routes.
6542+.PP
6543+\fBrdisc\fR listens on the ALL_HOSTS (224.0.0.1) multicast address
6544+(or \fIreceive_address\fR provided it is given)
6545+for ROUTER_ADVERTISE messages from routers. The received
6546+messages are handled by first ignoring those listed router addresses
6547+with which the host does not share a network. Among the remaining addresses
6548+the ones with the highest preference are selected as default routers
6549+and a default route is entered in the kernel routing table
6550+for each one of them.
6551+.PP
6552+Optionally, \fBrdisc\fR can avoid waiting for routers to announce
6553+themselves by sending out a few ROUTER_SOLICITATION messages
6554+to the ALL_ROUTERS (224.0.0.2) multicast address
6555+(or \fIsend_address\fR provided it is given)
6556+when it is started.
6557+.PP
6558+A timer is associated with each router address and the address will
6559+no longer be considered for inclusion in the the routing tables if the
6560+timer expires before a new
6561+\fBadvertise\fR message is received from the router.
6562+The address will also be excluded from consideration if the host receives an
6563+\fBadvertise\fR
6564+message with the preference being maximally negative.
6565+.PP
6566+Server side of router discovery protocol is supported by Cisco IOS
6567+and by any more or less complete UNIX routing daemon, f.e \fBgated\fR.
6568+.SH "OPTIONS"
6569+.TP
6570+\fB-a\fR
6571+Accept all routers independently of the preference they have in their
6572+\fBadvertise\fR messages.
6573+Normally \fBrdisc\fR only accepts (and enters in the kernel routing
6574+tables) the router or routers with the highest preference.
6575+.TP
6576+\fB-b\fR
6577+Opposite to \fB-a\fR, i.e. install only router with the best
6578+preference value. It is default behaviour.
6579+.TP
6580+\fB-d\fR
6581+Send debugging messages to syslog.
6582+.TP
6583+\fB-f\fR
6584+Run \fBrdisc\fR forever even if no routers are found.
6585+Normally \fBrdisc\fR gives up if it has not received any
6586+\fBadvertise\fR message after after soliciting three times,
6587+in which case it exits with a non-zero exit code.
6588+If \fB-f\fR is not specified in the first form then
6589+\fB-s\fR must be specified.
6590+.TP
6591+\fB-s\fR
6592+Send three \fBsolicitation\fR messages initially to quickly discover
6593+the routers when the system is booted.
6594+When \fB-s\fR is specified \fBrdisc\fR
6595+exits with a non-zero exit code if it can not find any routers.
6596+This can be overridden with the \fB-f\fR option.
6597+.TP
6598+\fB-t\fR
6599+Test mode. Do not go to background.
6600+.TP
6601+\fB-v\fR
6602+Be verbose i.e. send lots of debugging messages to syslog.
6603+.TP
6604+\fB-V\fR
6605+Print version and exit.
6606+.SH "HISTORY"

[8867e46]6645+.SH NAME
6646+tftpd \- Trivial File Transfer Protocol server
6647+.SH SYNOPSIS
6648+
6649+\fBtftpd\fR \fB\fIdirectory\fB\fR
6650+
6651+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
6652+.PP
6653+\fBtftpd\fR is a server which supports the DARPA
6654+Trivial File Transfer Protocol
6655+(RFC1350).
6656+The TFTP server is started
6657+by \fBinetd\fR(8).
6658+.PP
6659+\fIdirectory\fR is required argument; if it is not given
6660+\fBtftpd\fR aborts. This path is prepended to any file name requested
6661+via TFTP protocol, effectively chrooting \fBtftpd\fR to this directory.
6662+File names are validated not to escape out of this directory, however
6663+administrator may configure such escape using symbolic links.
6664+.PP
6665+It is in difference of variants of \fBtftpd\fR usually distributed
6666+with unix-like systems, which take a list of directories and match
6667+file names to start from one of given prefixes or to some random
6668+default, when no arguments were given. There are two reasons not to
6669+behave in this way: first, it is inconvenient, clients are not expected
6670+to know something about layout of filesystem on server host.
6671+And second, TFTP protocol is not a tool for browsing of server's filesystem,
6672+it is just an agent allowing to boot dumb clients.
6673+.PP
6674+In the case when \fBtftpd\fR is used together with
6675+\fBrarpd\fR(8),
6676+tftp directories in these services should coincide and it is expected
6677+that each client booted via TFTP has boot image corresponding
6678+its IP address with an architecture suffix following Sun Microsystems
6679+conventions. See
6680+\fBrarpd\fR(8)
6681+for more details.
6682+.SH "SECURITY"
6683+.PP
6684+TFTP protocol does not provide any authentication.
6685+Due to this capital flaw \fBtftpd\fR is not able to restrict
6686+access to files and will allow only publically readable
6687+files to be accessed. Files may be written only if they already
6688+exist and are publically writable.
6689+.PP
6690+Impact is evident, directory exported via TFTP \fBmust not\fR
6691+contain sensitive information of any kind, everyone is allowed
6692+to read it as soon as a client is allowed. Boot images do not contain
6693+such information as rule, however you should think twice before
6694+publishing f.e. Cisco IOS config files via TFTP, they contain
6695+\fBunencrypted\fR passwords and may contain some information
6696+about the network, which you were not going to make public.
6697+.PP
6698+The \fBtftpd\fR server should be executed by \fBinetd\fR
6699+with dropped root privileges, namely with a user ID giving minimal
6700+access to files published in tftp directory. If it is executed
6701+as superuser occasionally, \fBtftpd\fR drops its UID and GID
6702+to 65534, which is most likely not the thing which you expect.
6703+However, this is not very essential; remember, only files accessible
6704+for everyone can be read or written via TFTP.

6708+\fBtftp\fR(1),
6709+\fBinetd\fR(8).
6710+.SH "HISTORY"
6711+.PP
6712+The \fBtftpd\fR command appeared in 4.2BSD. The source in iputils
6713+is cleaned up both syntactically (ANSIized) and semantically (UDP socket IO).
6714+.PP
6715+It is distributed with iputils mostly as good demo of an interesting feature
6716+(MSG_CONFIRM) allowing to boot long images by dumb clients
6717+not answering ARP requests until they are finally booted.
6718+However, this is full functional and can be used in production.

6739+
6740+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
6741+.PP
6742+It traces path to \fIdestination\fR discovering MTU along this path.
6743+It uses UDP port \fIport\fR or some random port.
[ecc1136]6744+It is similar to \fBtraceroute\fR, only does not require superuser
[8867e46]6745+privileges and has no fancy options.
6746+.PP
6747+\fBtracepath6\fR is good replacement for \fBtraceroute6\fR
6748+and classic example of application of Linux error queues.
6749+The situation with IPv4 is worse, because commercial
6750+IP routers do not return enough information in icmp error messages.
6751+Probably, it will change, when they will be updated.
6752+For now it uses Van Jacobson's trick, sweeping a range
6753+of UDP ports to maintain trace history.

6756+\fB-n\fR

6763+Sets the initial packet length to \fIpktlen\fR instead of

6775+.fi
6776+.PP
6777+The first column shows TTL of the probe, followed by colon.
6778+Usually value of TTL is obtained from reply from network,
6779+but sometimes reply does not contain necessary information and
6780+we have to guess it. In this case the number is followed by ?.
6781+.PP
6782+The second column shows the network hop, which replied to the probe.
6783+It is either address of router or word [LOCALHOST], if
6784+the probe was not sent to the network.
6785+.PP
6786+The rest of line shows miscellaneous information about path to
6787+the correspinding hetwork hop. As rule it contains value of RTT.
6788+Additionally, it can show Path MTU, when it changes.
6789+If the path is asymmetric
6790+or the probe finishes before it reach prescribed hop, difference
6791+between number of hops in forward and backward direction is shown
[ecc1136]6792+following keyword async. This information is not reliable.
[8867e46]6793+F.e. the third line shows asymmetry of 1, it is because the first probe
6794+with TTL of 2 was rejected at the first hop due to Path MTU Discovery.
6795+.PP
6796+The last line summarizes information about all the path to the destination,
6797+it shows detected Path MTU, amount of hops to the destination and our
6798+guess about amount of hops from the destination to us, which can be
6799+different when the path is asymmetric.
