|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl d
|
|
.Op Fl l
|
|
.Op Ar configuration file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should be run at boot time by
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr rc 8 ) .
|
|
It then opens sockets according to its configuration and listens
|
|
for connections.
|
|
When a connection is found on one of its sockets, it decides what
|
|
service the socket corresponds to, and invokes a program to service
|
|
the request.
|
|
After the program is finished, it continues to listen on the socket
|
|
(except in some cases which will be described below).
|
|
Essentially,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows running one daemon to invoke several others,
|
|
reducing load on the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Turns on debugging.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Turns on libwrap connection logging.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon execution,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads its configuration information from a configuration
|
|
file which, by default, is
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf .
|
|
The path given for this configuration file must be absolute, unless
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option is also given on the command line.
|
|
There must be an entry for each field of the configuration
|
|
file, with entries for each field separated by a tab or
|
|
a space.
|
|
Comments are denoted by a ``#'' at the beginning of a line.
|
|
There must be an entry for each field (except for one
|
|
special case, described below).
|
|
The fields of the configuration file are as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact
|
|
[addr:]service-name
|
|
socket-type[:accept_filter]
|
|
protocol[,sndbuf=size][,rcvbuf=size]
|
|
wait/nowait[:max]
|
|
user[:group]
|
|
server-program
|
|
server program arguments
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To specify an
|
|
.Em Sun-RPC
|
|
based service, the entry would contain these fields:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact
|
|
service-name/version
|
|
socket-type
|
|
rpc/protocol[,sndbuf=size][,rcvbuf=size]
|
|
wait/nowait[:max]
|
|
user[:group]
|
|
server-program
|
|
server program arguments
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To specify a UNIX-domain (local) socket, the entry would contain
|
|
these fields:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact
|
|
path
|
|
socket-type
|
|
unix[,sndbuf=size][,rcvbuf=size]
|
|
wait/nowait[:max]
|
|
user[:group]
|
|
server-program
|
|
server program arguments
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For Internet services, the first field of the line may also have a host
|
|
address specifier prefixed to it, separated from the service name by a colon.
|
|
If this is done, the string before the colon in the first field
|
|
indicates what local address
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should use when listening for that service, or the single character
|
|
.Dq \&*
|
|
to indicate
|
|
.Dv INADDR_ANY ,
|
|
meaning
|
|
.Sq all local addresses .
|
|
To avoid repeating an address that occurs frequently, a line with a
|
|
host address specifier and colon, but no further fields, causes the
|
|
host address specifier to be remembered and used for all further lines
|
|
with no explicit host specifier (until another such line or the end of
|
|
the file).
|
|
A line
|
|
.Dl *:
|
|
is implicitly provided at the top of the file; thus, traditional
|
|
configuration files (which have no host address specifiers) will be
|
|
interpreted in the traditional manner, with all services listened for
|
|
on all local addresses.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em service-name
|
|
entry is the name of a valid service in
|
|
the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/services .
|
|
For
|
|
.Dq internal
|
|
services (discussed below), the service
|
|
name
|
|
.Em must
|
|
be the official name of the service (that is, the first entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/services ) .
|
|
When used to specify a
|
|
.Em Sun-RPC
|
|
based service, this field is a valid RPC service name in
|
|
the file
|
|
.Pa /etc/rpc .
|
|
The part on the right of the
|
|
.Dq /
|
|
is the RPC version number.
|
|
This can simply be a single numeric argument or a range of versions.
|
|
A range is bounded by the low version to the high version \-
|
|
.Dq rusers/1-3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em socket-type
|
|
should be one of
|
|
.Dq stream ,
|
|
.Dq dgram ,
|
|
.Dq raw ,
|
|
.Dq rdm ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq seqpacket ,
|
|
depending on whether the socket is a stream, datagram, raw,
|
|
reliably delivered message, or sequenced packet socket.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Optionally, an
|
|
.Xr accept_filter 9
|
|
can be specified by appending a colon to the socket-type, followed by
|
|
the name of the desired accept filter.
|
|
In this case
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not see new connections for the specified service until the accept
|
|
filter decides they are ready to be handled.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em protocol
|
|
must be a valid protocol as given in
|
|
.Pa /etc/protocols
|
|
or the string
|
|
.Dq unix .
|
|
Examples might be
|
|
.Dq tcp
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq udp .
|
|
Rpc based services are specified with the
|
|
.Dq rpc/tcp
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq rpc/udp
|
|
service type.
|
|
.Dq tcp
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq udp
|
|
will be recognized as
|
|
.Dq TCP or UDP over default IP version .
|
|
It is currently IPv4, but in the future it will be IPv6.
|
|
If you need to specify IPv4 or IPv6 explicitly, use something like
|
|
.Dq tcp4
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq udp6 .
|
|
If you would like to enable special support for
|
|
.Xr faithd 8 ,
|
|
prepend a keyword
|
|
.Dq faith
|
|
into
|
|
.Em protocol ,
|
|
like
|
|
.Dq faith/tcp6 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In addition to the protocol, the configuration file may specify the
|
|
send and receive socket buffer sizes for the listening socket.
|
|
This is especially useful for
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
as the window scale factor, which is based on the receive socket
|
|
buffer size, is advertised when the connection handshake occurs,
|
|
thus the socket buffer size for the server must be set on the listen socket.
|
|
By increasing the socket buffer sizes, better
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
performance may be realized in some situations.
|
|
The socket buffer sizes are specified by appending their values to
|
|
the protocol specification as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
tcp,rcvbuf=16384
|
|
tcp,sndbuf=64k
|
|
tcp,rcvbuf=64k,sndbuf=1m
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A literal value may be specified, or modified using
|
|
.Sq k
|
|
to indicate kilobytes or
|
|
.Sq m
|
|
to indicate megabytes.
|
|
Socket buffer sizes may be specified for all
|
|
services and protocols except for tcpmux services.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em wait/nowait
|
|
entry is used to tell
|
|
.Nm
|
|
if it should wait for the server program to return,
|
|
or continue processing connections on the socket.
|
|
If a datagram server connects
|
|
to its peer, freeing the socket so
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can receive further messages on the socket, it is said to be
|
|
a
|
|
.Dq multi-threaded
|
|
server, and should use the
|
|
.Dq nowait
|
|
entry.
|
|
For datagram servers which process all incoming datagrams
|
|
on a socket and eventually time out, the server is said to be
|
|
.Dq single-threaded
|
|
and should use a
|
|
.Dq wait
|
|
entry.
|
|
.Xr comsat 8
|
|
.Pq Xr biff 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ntalkd 8
|
|
are both examples of the latter type of
|
|
datagram server.
|
|
.Xr tftpd 8
|
|
is an exception; it is a datagram server that establishes pseudo-connections.
|
|
It must be listed as
|
|
.Dq wait
|
|
in order to avoid a race;
|
|
the server reads the first packet, creates a new socket,
|
|
and then forks and exits to allow
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to check for new service requests to spawn new servers.
|
|
The optional
|
|
.Dq max
|
|
suffix (separated from
|
|
.Dq wait
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq nowait
|
|
by a dot or a colon) specifies the maximum number of server instances that may
|
|
be spawned from
|
|
.Nm
|
|
within an interval of 60 seconds.
|
|
When omitted,
|
|
.Dq max
|
|
defaults to 40.
|
|
If it reaches this maximum spawn rate,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will log the problem (via the syslogger using the LOG_DAEMON
|
|
facility and LOG_ERR level)
|
|
and stop handling the specific service for ten minutes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Stream servers are usually marked as
|
|
.Dq nowait
|
|
but if a single server process is to handle multiple connections, it may be
|
|
marked as
|
|
.Dq wait .
|
|
The master socket will then be passed as fd 0 to the server, which will then
|
|
need to accept the incoming connection.
|
|
The server should eventually time
|
|
out and exit when no more connections are active.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will continue to
|
|
listen on the master socket for connections, so the server should not close
|
|
it when it exits.
|
|
.Xr identd 8
|
|
is usually the only stream server marked as wait.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em user
|
|
entry should contain the user name of the user as whom the server should run.
|
|
This allows for servers to be given less permission than root.
|
|
Optionally, a group can be specified by appending a colon to the user name,
|
|
followed by the group name (it is possible to use a dot (``.'') in lieu of a
|
|
colon, however this feature is provided only for backward compatibility).
|
|
This allows for servers to run with a different (primary) group id than
|
|
specified in the password file.
|
|
If a group is specified and
|
|
.Em user
|
|
is not root, the supplementary groups associated with that user will still be
|
|
set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em server-program
|
|
entry should contain the pathname of the program which is to be
|
|
executed by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
when a request is found on its socket.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
provides this service internally, this entry should
|
|
be
|
|
.Dq internal .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em server program arguments
|
|
should be just as arguments
|
|
normally are, starting with argv[0], which is the name of
|
|
the program.
|
|
If the service is provided internally, the
|
|
word
|
|
.Dq internal
|
|
should take the place of this entry.
|
|
It is possible to quote an argument using either single or double quotes.
|
|
This allows you to have, e.g., spaces in paths and parameters.
|
|
.Ss Internal Services
|
|
.Nm
|
|
provides several
|
|
.Qq trivial
|
|
services internally by use of routines within itself.
|
|
These services are
|
|
.Qq echo ,
|
|
.Qq discard ,
|
|
.Qq chargen
|
|
(character generator),
|
|
.Qq daytime
|
|
(human readable time), and
|
|
.Qq time
|
|
(machine readable time,
|
|
in the form of the number of seconds since midnight, January 1, 1900 GMT).
|
|
For details of these services, consult the appropriate
|
|
.Tn RFC .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
TCP services without official port numbers can be handled with the
|
|
RFC1078-based tcpmux internal service.
|
|
TCPmux listens on port 1 for requests.
|
|
When a connection is made from a foreign host, the service name
|
|
requested is passed to TCPmux, which performs a lookup in the
|
|
service name table provided by
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
|
|
and returns the proper entry for the service.
|
|
TCPmux returns a negative reply if the service doesn't exist,
|
|
otherwise the invoked server is expected to return the positive
|
|
reply if the service type in
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
|
|
file has the prefix
|
|
.Qq tcpmux/ .
|
|
If the service type has the
|
|
prefix
|
|
.Qq tcpmux/+ ,
|
|
TCPmux will return the positive reply for the
|
|
process; this is for compatibility with older server code, and also
|
|
allows you to invoke programs that use stdin/stdout without putting any
|
|
special server code in them.
|
|
Services that use TCPmux are
|
|
.Qq nowait
|
|
because they do not have a well-known port number and hence cannot listen
|
|
for new requests.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal,
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP .
|
|
Services may be added, deleted or modified when the configuration file
|
|
is reread.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
creates a file
|
|
.Em /var/run/inetd.pid
|
|
that contains its process identifier.
|
|
.Ss libwrap
|
|
Support for
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
wrappers is included with
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to provide internal tcpd-like access control functionality.
|
|
An external tcpd program is not needed.
|
|
You do not need to change the
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
|
|
server-program entry to enable this capability.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.allow
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.deny
|
|
for access control facility configurations, as described in
|
|
.Xr hosts_access 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em Nota Bene :
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
|
wrappers do not affect/restrict
|
|
.Tn UDP
|
|
or internal services.
|
|
.Ss IPsec
|
|
The implementation includes a tiny hack to support IPsec policy settings for
|
|
each socket.
|
|
A special form of the comment line, starting with
|
|
.Dq Li "#@" ,
|
|
is used as a policy specifier.
|
|
The content of the above comment line will be treated as a IPsec policy string,
|
|
as described in
|
|
.Xr ipsec_set_policy 3 .
|
|
Multiple IPsec policy strings may be specified by using a semicolon
|
|
as a separator.
|
|
If conflicting policy strings are found in a single line,
|
|
the last string will take effect.
|
|
A
|
|
.Li "#@"
|
|
line affects all of the following lines in
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf ,
|
|
so you may want to reset the IPsec policy by using a comment line containing
|
|
only
|
|
.Li "#@"
|
|
.Pq with no policy string .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If an invalid IPsec policy string appears in
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
logs an error message using
|
|
.Xr syslog 3
|
|
and terminates itself.
|
|
.Ss IPv6 TCP/UDP behavior
|
|
If you wish to run a server for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic,
|
|
you will need to run two separate processes for the same server program,
|
|
specified as two separate lines in
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
|
|
using
|
|
.Dq tcp4
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq tcp6
|
|
respectively.
|
|
Plain
|
|
.Dq tcp
|
|
means TCP on top of the current default IP version,
|
|
which is, at this moment, IPv4.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Under various combination of IPv4/v6 daemon settings,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will behave as follows:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
If you have only one server on
|
|
.Dq tcp4 ,
|
|
IPv4 traffic will be routed to the server.
|
|
IPv6 traffic will not be accepted.
|
|
.It
|
|
If you have two servers on
|
|
.Dq tcp4
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq tcp6 ,
|
|
IPv4 traffic will be routed to the server on
|
|
.Dq tcp4 ,
|
|
and IPv6 traffic will go to server on
|
|
.Dq tcp6 .
|
|
.It
|
|
If you have only one server on
|
|
.Dq tcp6 ,
|
|
only IPv6 traffic will be routed to the server.
|
|
The kernel may route to the server IPv4 traffic as well,
|
|
under certain configuration.
|
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 .
|
|
Support for
|
|
.Em Sun-RPC
|
|
based services is modeled after that
|
|
provided by SunOS 4.1.
|
|
Support for specifying the socket buffer sizes was added in
|
|
.Nx 1.4 .
|
|
In November 1996, libwrap support was added to provide
|
|
internal tcpd-like access control functionality;
|
|
libwrap is based on Wietse Venema's tcp_wrappers.
|
|
IPv6 support and IPsec hack was made by KAME project, in 1999.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Host address specifiers, while they make conceptual sense for RPC
|
|
services, do not work entirely correctly.
|
|
This is largely because the portmapper interface does not provide
|
|
a way to register different ports for the same service on different
|
|
local addresses.
|
|
Provided you never have more than one entry for a given RPC service,
|
|
everything should work correctly (Note that default host address
|
|
specifiers do apply to RPC lines with no explicit specifier.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq tcpmux
|
|
on IPv6 is not tested enough.
|
|
.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
Enabling the
|
|
.Dq echo ,
|
|
.Dq discard ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq chargen
|
|
built-in trivial services is not recommended because remote
|
|
users may abuse these to cause a denial of network service to
|
|
or from the local host.
