SOCKD(8) System Manager's Manual SOCKD(8)
NAME
sockd - network proxyserver
SYNOPSIS
sockd [-DLVdhnv] [-N number] [-f file] [-p file]
DESCRIPTION
Dante implements the socks standard and can function as a firewall
between networks.
Dante relays TCP and UDP both from outside the network and in, and from
inside and out.
The options are as follows:
-D Dante will detach from the controlling terminal and run in the
background as a system daemon.
-L Displays the license Dante comes under.
-Nnumber
Dante will fork of number "main servers" when starting. This
can be used for servers that are extremely busy, or to provide a
(very) poor mans redundancy setup, as Dante will try to make
these "main servers" as independent of each others as possible.
-V Verifies config file and exits.
-dnumber
Sets the level of debugging, zero to disable.
-ffile Dante will read its configuration from file.
-h Shows the currently valid options.
-n Disables TCP keep-alive messages. Normally Dante enables TCP
keep-alive messages so that connections from machines that have
crashed or for other reasons no longer can be reached time out.
Note that this can take several hours. See also the "timeout"
option in sockd.conf(5).
-pfile Dante will write the pid of the main process to this file.
file.
-v Displays Dante version.
SIGNALS
SIGHUP Reload the configuration file. Will also reopen logfiles.
SIGINFO/SIGUSR1
Print some information about the servers current state and
clients.
ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR Use TMPDIR for temporary files. Dante will use this directory
for lockfiles and memory-mapped files. It is recommended that
TMPDIR be set to a (local) filesystem with low latency. The
directory should have read/write/execute permission by both the
privileged and unprivileged userid (as specified in
/etc/sockd.conf), but no other non-privileged users.
FILES
/etc/sockd.conf
Dante server configuration file.
