NAME
       ramond - IPv6 Router Advertisement MONitor Daemon

SYNOPSIS
       ramond [ -c configfile ] [ -d ]

       ramond -h

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the ramond command.

       ramond is a daemon program monitoring IPv6 router advertisement packets.  When an advert is reveived, a configurable action occurs.

       ramond was designed to "clear" (by sending spoofed zero lifetime adverts) rogue routes sent by users running 6to4 gateways on a campus net-
       work.  Actions are scriptable.  Almost all the available information is passed to a script via environmental variables (see the ENVIRONMENT
       section for details).
