IN.DAYTIMED(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures IN.DAYTIMED(8)

NAME

in.daytimed - UDP or TCP daytime protocol service daemon

SYNOPSIS

in.daytimed


FMRI svc:/internet/daytime:default

DESCRIPTION

FMRI stands for Fault Management Resource Identifier. It is used to
identify resources managed by the Fault Manager. See fmd(8) and
smf(7).


The in.daytimed service provides the server-side of the daytime
protocol. This protocol is used for debugging and bandwidth
measurement and is available on both TCP and UDP transports, through
port 13.


The in.daytimed service is an inetd(8) smf(7) delegated service. The
in.daytimed detects which transport is requested by examining the
socket it is passed by the inetd daemon.

TCP-based service
Once a connection is established, the
in.daytimed generates the current date and time
in ctime(3C) format as 7-bit ASCII and sends it
through the connection. The server then closes
the connection. Any data received from the
client side of the connection is discarded.


UDP-based service
The in.daytimed listens for UDP datagrams. When
a datagram is received, the server generates the
current date and time in ctime(3C) format as
7-bit ASCII and inserts it in a UDP datagram
sent in response to the client's request. Any
received data is ignored.
