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 initial-
       ization 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.
