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

NAME

in.timed - UDP or TCP time protocol service daemon

SYNOPSIS

in.timed


FMRI svc:/internet/time: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.timed service provides the server-side of the time protocol.
The time server sends to requestors the time in seconds since
midnight, January 1, 1900. The time protocol is available on both TCP
and UDP transports through port 37.


The in.timed service is an inetd(8) smf(7) delegated service. The
in.timed 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.timed
sends the time as a 32-bit binary number and
closes the connection. Any received data is
ignored.


UDP-based service
The in.timed listens for UDP datagrams. When a
datagram is received, the server generates a UDP
datagram containing the time as a 32-bit binary
number and sends it to the client. Any received
data is ignored.
