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 network. Actions are scriptable. Almost all the available information is passed to a script via environmental variables (see the ENVIRONMENT section for details).
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, without long options. A summary of options is included below.
- -c configfile
- Sets the path to the ramond configuration file. Default is /etc/ramond.conf
- -d
- Do not daemonize.
- -h
- Show summary of options.
FILES
