     9.SH SYNOPSIS
     10
     11\fBclockdiff\fR [\fB-o\fR] [\fB-o1\fR] \fB\fIdestination\fB\fR
     12
     13.SH "DESCRIPTION"
     14.PP
     15\fBclockdiff\fR Measures clock difference between us and
     16\fIdestination\fR with 1 msec resolution using ICMP TIMESTAMP
     17[2]
     18packets or, optionally, IP TIMESTAMP option
     19[3]
     20option added to ICMP ECHO.
     21[1]
     22.SH "OPTIONS"
     23.TP
     24\fB-o\fR
     25Use IP TIMESTAMP with ICMP ECHO instead of ICMP TIMESTAMP
     26messages. It is useful with some destinations, which do not support
     27ICMP TIMESTAMP (f.e. Solaris <2.4).
     28.TP
     29\fB-o1\fR
     30Slightly different form of \fB-o\fR, namely it uses three-term
     31IP TIMESTAMP with prespecified hop addresses instead of four term one.
     32What flavor works better depends on target host. Particularly,
     33\fB-o\fR is better for Linux.
     34.SH "WARNINGS"
     35.TP 0.2i
     36\(bu
     37Some nodes (Cisco) use non-standard timestamps, which is allowed
     38by RFC, but makes timestamps mostly useless.
     39.TP 0.2i
     40\(bu
     41Some nodes generate messed timestamps (Solaris>2.4), when
     42run \fBxntpd\fR. Seems, its IP stack uses a corrupted clock source,
     43which is synchronized to time-of-day clock periodically and jumps
     44randomly making timestamps mostly useless. Good news is that you can
     45use NTP in this case, which is even better.
     46.TP 0.2i
     47\(bu
     48\fBclockdiff\fR shows difference in time modulo 24 days.

     14.PP
     15\fBping\fR uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST
     16datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.
     17ECHO_REQUEST datagrams (``pings'') have an IP and ICMP
     18header, followed by a struct timeval and then an arbitrary
     19number of ``pad'' bytes used to fill out the packet.
     20.PP
     21\fBping6\fR is IPv6 version of \fBping\fR, and can also send Node Information Queries (RFC4620).
     22Intermediate \fIhop\fRs may not be allowed, because IPv6 source routing was deprecated (RFC5095).

     30effectively not more than one (or more, if preload is set) unanswered probe
     31is present in the network. Minimal interval is 200msec for not super-user.
     32On networks with low rtt this mode is essentially equivalent to flood mode.

     282.PP
     283When using \fBping\fR for fault isolation, it should first be run
     284on the local host, to verify that the local network interface is up
     285and running. Then, hosts and gateways further and further away should be
     286``pinged''. Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed.
     287If duplicate packets are received, they are not included in the packet
     288loss calculation, although the round trip time of these packets is used
     289in calculating the minimum/average/maximum round-trip time numbers.
     290When the specified number of packets have been sent (and received) or
     291if the program is terminated with a

     306On other error it exits with code 2. Otherwise it exits with code 0. This
     307makes it possible to use the exit code to see if a host is alive or
     308not.
     309.PP
     310This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement and
     311management.
     312Because of the load it can impose on the network, it is unwise to use
     313\fBping\fR during normal operations or from automated scripts.
     314.SH "ICMP PACKET DETAILS"
     315.PP
     316An IP header without options is 20 bytes.
     317An ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packet contains an additional 8 bytes worth
     318of ICMP header followed by an arbitrary amount of data.
     319When a \fIpacketsize\fR is given, this indicated the size of this
     320extra piece of data (the default is 56). Thus the amount of data received
     321inside of an IP packet of type ICMP ECHO_REPLY will always be 8 bytes
     322more than the requested data space (the ICMP header).
     323.PP
     324If the data space is at least of size of struct timeval
     325\fBping\fR uses the beginning bytes of this space to include
     326a timestamp which it uses in the computation of round trip times.
     327If the data space is shorter, no round trip times are given.
     328.SH "DUPLICATE AND DAMAGED PACKETS"
     329.PP
     330\fBping\fR will report duplicate and damaged packets.
     331Duplicate packets should never occur, and seem to be caused by
     332inappropriate link-level retransmissions.
     333Duplicates may occur in many situations and are rarely (if ever) a
     334good sign, although the presence of low levels of duplicates may not
     335always be cause for alarm.
     336.PP
     337Damaged packets are obviously serious cause for alarm and often
     338indicate broken hardware somewhere in the
     339\fBping\fR packet's path (in the network or in the hosts).
     340.SH "TRYING DIFFERENT DATA PATTERNS"
     341.PP
     342The (inter)network layer should never treat packets differently depending
     343on the data contained in the data portion.
     344Unfortunately, data-dependent problems have been known to sneak into
     345networks and remain undetected for long periods of time.
     346In many cases the particular pattern that will have problems is something
     347that doesn't have sufficient ``transitions'', such as all ones or all
     348zeros, or a pattern right at the edge, such as almost all zeros.
     349It isn't necessarily enough to specify a data pattern of all zeros (for
     350example) on the command line because the pattern that is of interest is
     351at the data link level, and the relationship between what you type and
     352what the controllers transmit can be complicated.
     353.PP
     354This means that if you have a data-dependent problem you will probably
     355have to do a lot of testing to find it.
     356If you are lucky, you may manage to find a file that either can't be sent
     357across your network or that takes much longer to transfer than other
     358similar length files.
     359You can then examine this file for repeated patterns that you can test
     360using the \fB-p\fR option of \fBping\fR.
     361.SH "TTL DETAILS"
     362.PP
     363The TTL value of an IP packet represents the maximum number of IP routers
     364that the packet can go through before being thrown away.
     365In current practice you can expect each router in the Internet to decrement
     366the TTL field by exactly one.
     367.PP
     368The TCP/IP specification states that the TTL field for TCP
     369packets should be set to 60, but many systems use smaller values
     370(4.3 BSD uses 30, 4.2 used 15).
     371.PP
     372The maximum possible value of this field is 255, and most Unix systems set
     373the TTL field of ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to 255.
     374This is why you will find you can ``ping'' some hosts, but not reach them
     375with
     376\fBtelnet\fR(1)
     377or
     378\fBftp\fR(1).
     379.PP
     380In normal operation ping prints the TTL value from the packet it receives.
     381When a remote system receives a ping packet, it can do one of three things
     382with the TTL field in its response:
     383.TP 0.2i
     384\(bu
     385Not change it; this is what Berkeley Unix systems did before the
     3864.3BSD Tahoe release. In this case the TTL value in the received packet
     387will be 255 minus the number of routers in the round-trip path.
     388.TP 0.2i
     389\(bu
     390Set it to 255; this is what current Berkeley Unix systems do.
     391In this case the TTL value in the received packet will be 255 minus the
     392number of routers in the path \fBfrom\fR
     393the remote system \fBto\fR the \fBping\fRing host.
     394.TP 0.2i
     395\(bu
     396Set it to some other value. Some machines use the same value for
     397ICMP packets that they use for TCP packets, for example either 30 or 60.
     398Others may use completely wild values.
     399.SH "BUGS"
     400.TP 0.2i
     401\(bu
     402Many Hosts and Gateways ignore the RECORD_ROUTE option.
     403.TP 0.2i

     405The maximum IP header length is too small for options like
     406RECORD_ROUTE to be completely useful.

     77are not able to answer ARP before they are finally booted. This is
     78not wonderful taking into account that clients using RARPD in 2002
     79are all unsupported relic creatures of 90's and even earlier.

     7.SH NAME
     8rdisc \- network router discovery daemon
     9.SH SYNOPSIS
     10
     11\fBrdisc\fR [\fB-abdfrstvV\fR] [\fB-p \fIpreference\fB\fR] [\fB-T \fImax_interval\fB\fR] [\fB\fIsend_address\fB\fR] [\fB\fIreceive_address\fB\fR]
     12
     13.SH "DESCRIPTION"
     14.PP
     15\fBrdisc\fR implements client side of the ICMP router discover protocol.
     16\fBrdisc\fR is invoked at boot time to populate the network
     17routing tables with default routes.
     18.PP
     19\fBrdisc\fR listens on the ALL_HOSTS (224.0.0.1) multicast address
     20(or \fIreceive_address\fR provided it is given)
     21for ROUTER_ADVERTISE messages from routers. The received
     22messages are handled by first ignoring those listed router addresses
     23with which the host does not share a network. Among the remaining addresses
     24the ones with the highest preference are selected as default routers
     25and a default route is entered in the kernel routing table
     26for each one of them.
     27.PP
     28Optionally, \fBrdisc\fR can avoid waiting for routers to announce
     29themselves by sending out a few ROUTER_SOLICITATION messages
     30to the ALL_ROUTERS (224.0.0.2) multicast address
     31(or \fIsend_address\fR provided it is given)
     32when it is started.
     33.PP
     34A timer is associated with each router address and the address will
     35no longer be considered for inclusion in the the routing tables if the
     36timer expires before a new
     37\fBadvertise\fR message is received from the router.
     38The address will also be excluded from consideration if the host receives an
     39\fBadvertise\fR
     40message with the preference being maximally negative.
     41.PP
     42Server side of router discovery protocol is supported by Cisco IOS
     43and by any more or less complete UNIX routing daemon, f.e \fBgated\fR.
     44Or, \fBrdisc\fR can act as responder, if compiled with -DRDISC_SERVER.
     45.SH "OPTIONS"
     46.TP
     47\fB-a\fR
     48Accept all routers independently of the preference they have in their
     49\fBadvertise\fR messages.
     50Normally \fBrdisc\fR only accepts (and enters in the kernel routing
     51tables) the router or routers with the highest preference.
     52.TP
     53\fB-b\fR
     54Opposite to \fB-a\fR, i.e. install only router with the best
     55preference value. It is default behaviour.
     56.TP
     57\fB-d\fR
     58Send debugging messages to syslog.
     59.TP
     60\fB-f\fR
     61Run \fBrdisc\fR forever even if no routers are found.
     62Normally \fBrdisc\fR gives up if it has not received any
     63\fBadvertise\fR message after after soliciting three times,
     64in which case it exits with a non-zero exit code.
     65If \fB-f\fR is not specified in the first form then
     66\fB-s\fR must be specified.
     67.TP
     68\fB-r\fR
     69Responder mode, available only if compiled with -DRDISC_SERVER.
     70.TP
     71\fB-s\fR
     72Send three \fBsolicitation\fR messages initially to quickly discover
     73the routers when the system is booted.
     74When \fB-s\fR is specified \fBrdisc\fR
     75exits with a non-zero exit code if it can not find any routers.
     76This can be overridden with the \fB-f\fR option.
     77.TP
     78\fB-p \fIpreference\fB\fR
     79Set preference in advertisement.
     80Available only with -r option.
     81.TP
     82\fB-T \fImax_interval\fB\fR
     83Set maximum advertisement interval in seconds.  Default is 600 secs.
     84Available only with -r option.
     85.TP
     86\fB-t\fR
     87Test mode. Do not go to background.
     88.TP
     89\fB-v\fR
     90Be verbose i.e. send lots of debugging messages to syslog.
     91.TP
     92\fB-V\fR
     93Print version and exit.

     8tftpd \- Trivial File Transfer Protocol server
     9.SH SYNOPSIS
     10
     11\fBtftpd\fR \fB\fIdirectory\fB\fR
     12
     13.SH "DESCRIPTION"
     14.PP
     15\fBtftpd\fR is a server which supports the DARPA
     16Trivial File Transfer Protocol
     17(RFC1350).
     18The TFTP server is started
     19by \fBinetd\fR(8).
     20.PP
     21\fIdirectory\fR is required argument; if it is not given
     22\fBtftpd\fR aborts. This path is prepended to any file name requested
     23via TFTP protocol, effectively chrooting \fBtftpd\fR to this directory.
     24File names are validated not to escape out of this directory, however
     25administrator may configure such escape using symbolic links.
     26.PP
     27It is in difference of variants of \fBtftpd\fR usually distributed
     28with unix-like systems, which take a list of directories and match
     29file names to start from one of given prefixes or to some random
     30default, when no arguments were given. There are two reasons not to
     31behave in this way: first, it is inconvenient, clients are not expected
     32to know something about layout of filesystem on server host.
     33And second, TFTP protocol is not a tool for browsing of server's filesystem,
     34it is just an agent allowing to boot dumb clients.
     35.PP
     36In the case when \fBtftpd\fR is used together with
     37\fBrarpd\fR(8),
     38tftp directories in these services should coincide and it is expected
     39that each client booted via TFTP has boot image corresponding
     40its IP address with an architecture suffix following Sun Microsystems
     41conventions. See
     42\fBrarpd\fR(8)
     43for more details.
     44.SH "SECURITY"
     45.PP
     46TFTP protocol does not provide any authentication.
     47Due to this capital flaw \fBtftpd\fR is not able to restrict
     48access to files and will allow only publically readable
     49files to be accessed. Files may be written only if they already
     50exist and are publically writable.
     51.PP
     52Impact is evident, directory exported via TFTP \fBmust not\fR
     53contain sensitive information of any kind, everyone is allowed
     54to read it as soon as a client is allowed. Boot images do not contain
     55such information as rule, however you should think twice before
     56publishing f.e. Cisco IOS config files via TFTP, they contain
     57\fBunencrypted\fR passwords and may contain some information
     58about the network, which you were not going to make public.
     59.PP
     60The \fBtftpd\fR server should be executed by \fBinetd\fR
     61with dropped root privileges, namely with a user ID giving minimal
     62access to files published in tftp directory. If it is executed
     63as superuser occasionally, \fBtftpd\fR drops its UID and GID
     64to 65534, which is most likely not the thing which you expect.
     65However, this is not very essential; remember, only files accessible
     66for everyone can be read or written via TFTP.

     70\fBtftp\fR(1),

     72.SH "HISTORY"
     73.PP
     74The \fBtftpd\fR command appeared in 4.2BSD. The source in iputils
     75is cleaned up both syntactically (ANSIized) and semantically (UDP socket IO).
     76.PP
     77It is distributed with iputils mostly as good demo of an interesting feature
     78(MSG_CONFIRM) allowing to boot long images by dumb clients
     79not answering ARP requests until they are finally booted.
     80However, this is full functional and can be used in production.

     14.PP
     15It traces path to \fIdestination\fR discovering MTU along this path.
     16It uses UDP port \fIport\fR or some random port.
     17It is similar to \fBtraceroute\fR, only does not require superuser
     18privileges and has no fancy options.
     19.PP
     20\fBtracepath6\fR is good replacement for \fBtraceroute6\fR
     21and classic example of application of Linux error queues.
     22The situation with IPv4 is worse, because commercial
     23IP routers do not return enough information in ICMP error messages.
     24Probably, it will change, when they will be updated.
     25For now it uses Van Jacobson's trick, sweeping a range

     57The first column shows TTL of the probe, followed by colon.
     58Usually value of TTL is obtained from reply from network,
     59but sometimes reply does not contain necessary information and
     60we have to guess it. In this case the number is followed by ?.
     61.PP
     62The second column shows the network hop, which replied to the probe.
     63It is either address of router or word [LOCALHOST], if
     64the probe was not sent to the network.
     65.PP
     66The rest of line shows miscellaneous information about path to
     67the correspinding network hop. As rule it contains value of RTT.
     68Additionally, it can show Path MTU, when it changes.
     69If the path is asymmetric
     70or the probe finishes before it reach prescribed hop, difference
     71between number of hops in forward and backward direction is shown
     72following keyword async. This information is not reliable.
     73F.e. the third line shows asymmetry of 1, it is because the first probe
     74with TTL of 2 was rejected at the first hop due to Path MTU Discovery.
     75.PP
     76The last line summarizes information about all the path to the destination,
     77it shows detected Path MTU, amount of hops to the destination and our
