Op Ar - .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm Cdcc is used to clear, control, and query the control file used by Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse clients such as .Xr dccm 8 . The host names, UDP port numbers, IDs, and passwords local clients use to talk to servers as well as IP addresses, round trip times, and other information are contained in the .Pa map file. While .Nm is set-UID, it uses the real UID only when accessing the .Pa map file. It refuses to display sensitive information such as passwords unless the real UID is the same as the effective UID. Note that .Nm needs to be set to a UID that can read and write the .Pa map file, but that UID need not be 0. .Pp .Nm Cdcc is also used to send commands to DCC servers to tell them to stop, reload their lists of DCC IDs, turn on tracing, and so forth. .Pp Many commands sent to DCC servers require a numeric DCC ID and a password recognized by the server. A DCC password is a 1-32 character string that does not contain blank, tab, newline or carriage return characters. The ID is specified with the .Ic id operation. If .Nm cdcc is run with a real UID that can read the .Pa ids file and a password is not specified (see the .Ic password operation), then the current password for the specified ID in the .Pa ids file will be used. If no .Pa ids file is available and a password and DCC ID are not specified, .Nm uses the anonymous DCC client-ID. DCC servers do not expect a password from clients using the anonymous client-ID, but they also won't honor control requests. .Pp Operations that modify the .Pa map file can only be performed when the real UID is sufficient to modify the file directly. Trying to perform an operation that requires a password without specifying a server-ID or without using a UID that can access the .Pa ids file produces an error message complaining about a "privileged operation." .Pp Commands and operations are read from the command line or from stdin. A series of .Ar op1 op2 ... operations followed a .Ar - (a dash) causes operations to be read from stdin after the command line operations are processed. Semi-colons or newlines separate commands in UNIX command-line "words," as well as when commands are read from stdin. Since each command line operation must be a shell "word," quotes are often required as in .Bd -ragged -offset indent % cdcc .Qq load map.txt .Ed or .Bd -ragged -offset indent % cdcc .Qq host localhost;info stats .Ed .Ss OPTIONS The following options are available: .Bl -tag -width 3n .It Fl V displays the version of the DCC controller. .It Fl d enables debugging output from the DCC client software. Additional .Fl d options increase the number of messages. See the .Ic debug command. .It Fl q quiets initial complaints about the map file and some messages about successful commands. See the .Ic quiet command. .It Fl h Ar homedir overrides the default DCC home directory, .Pa @prefix@ . See the .Ic homedir operation. .It Fl c Ar ids specifies file containing DCC IDs and passwords known by the local DCC server. An .Pa ids file that can be read by others cannot be used. The format of the .Pa ids file is described in .Xr dccd 8 . .It Ar op1 op2 ... are operations or commands such as "id\ 100;\ stop". Commands or operations specified on the command line are performed before the first interactive request. The last command can be .Ar "-" to specify that additional commands should be read from stdin. .El .Ss OPERATIONS Local operations include the following: .Bl -tag -width info .It Ic help Op Ar command lists information about one or all available commands and operations. .It Ic exit stops .Nm .It Ic grey Op Ar on | off switches between DCC and greylist servers. .It Ic homedir Op Ar path displays or specifies the DCC home directory. .It Ic file Op Ar map displays or specifies the name or path of the map file. The string "-" specifies the default file .Pa map in the DCC home directory. .It Ic new map Op Ar map creates a new, empty file for DCC server host names, port numbers, passwords, and so forth. There must not already be a file of the same name. The default is .Pa map in the DCC home directory. .It Ic delete Ar host Ns Xo .Ns Op , Ns Ar port .Xc deletes the entry in the .Pa map file for .Ar host and UDP .Ar port. If greylist mode has been set with the .Ic grey\ on command, the entry for the grelist server at .Ar host is deleted. .It Ic add Ar host Ns Xo .Ns Op , Ns Ar port .Op Ar RTT+adj Ns | Ns Ar RTT-adj .Op Ar Greylist .Op Ar client-ID Op password .Xc adds an entry to the .Pa map file. The .Ar port can be "-" to specify the default DCC server port number. .Pp An adjustment to the round trip time is a multiple of 10 milliseconds between -4000 and +4000 following the string .Ar RTT . The adjustment is added to the average measured round trip time when the DCC client software picks the "nearest" DCC server, or the server with the smallest RTT. If an IP address is mentioned more than once in the list of servers, for example because it is among the addresses for more than one server name, conflicts among RTT adjustments are resolved by picking the adjustment with the largest absolute value. .Pp .Ar Greylist marks an entry for a greylist servers. .Ar Greylist is assumed if greylist mode has been set with the .Ic grey\ on command, See .Xr dccd 8 . .Pp If both the client-ID and the password are absent, the anonymous client-ID, 1, is used. The string .Ar anon is equivalent to the anonymous client-ID. A null password string is assumed if the password is missing and the client-ID is 1 or also missing. .It Ic load Ar info-file loads the current parameter file with the host names, port numbers, IDs, and passwords in .Ar info-file . Standard input is understood if .Ar info-file is "-". .Pp A suitable file can be created with the .Ic info operation. It consists of ignored blank or comment lines starting with '#' and other lines in the same format as the arguments to the .Ic add operation. Note that output of the .Ic info command will lack passwords unless it is run by a privileged user. .It Ic host Op Ar hostname specifies the host name of the DCC server to which commands should be sent. If .Ar hostname is "-", the current default DCC server is chosen. .It Ic port Op Ar port specifies the UDP port number of the DCC server to which commands should be sent. The default is 6277 or 6276 depending on the setting of the greylist mode controlled with the .Ic grey command. .It Ic password Ar secret specifies the password with which to sign commands sent to the DCC server specified with the .Ic server and .Ic port operations. .It Ic id Op Ar ID specifies or displays the numeric DCC ID for commands sent to the DCC server specified with the .Ic server and .Ic port operations. If no password is specified with the .Ic password command, the password is sought in the local .Pa ids . .It Ic info Op Fl N displays information about the connections to DCC servers. It starts with the current date and name of the current .Ar map file or says that .Nm is using the implicit file created with the .Ic server and .Ic port operations. It then says when host names will next be resolved into IP addresses, the smallest round trip time to the IP addresses of known DCC servers. The host name, UDP port number (or dash if it is the default), DCC client-ID, and password (if .Nm is used by a privileged user) are shown in one line per configured DCC server. .Pp The currently preferred IP address is indicated by an asterisk. The "brand" of the server, its DCC ID, and its IP address are displayed in one line per IP address. The performance of the server at each IP address in the most recent 32 operations is displayed in a second line. The second line ends with the measured delay imposed by the server on requests with this client's ID. .Pp .Fl N displays the reverse DNS name of each server. .It Ic RTT Op Fl N measures the round trip time to the DCC servers. It does this by discarding accumulated information and forcing a probe of all listed server IP addresses. .Pp .Em Beware that when run with sufficient privilege, the .Ic RTT operation is like the .Ic info and .Ic load operations and displays cleartext passwords. .Pp .Fl N displays the reverse DNS name of each server. .It Ic debug Xo Op Ar on | off | TTL=x .Xc increases or decreases debugging information from the DCC client software or sets the IP TTL on queries to the server. See .Fl d . .Pp Some operating systems do not include the functions required to change the IP TTL. Others include the required functions but have no apparent effect. .It Ic quiet Op Ar on | off makes commands more quiet or more verbose. .It Ic IPv6 Op Ar on | off sets a switch to cause clients using the map file to try to use IPv6. .It Ic SOCKS Op Ar on off sets a switch to cause DCC clients using the map to use the SOCKS5 protocol, if they have been built with a SOCKS library. The socks library linked with the DCC client must be configured appropriately, often including knowing which DCC servers must be connected via the SOCKS proxy and which can be reached directly. DCC clients use SOCKS functions such as Rsendto() with all or no servers depending on the setting of this switch. .It Ic src Op Ar - | IPaddress displays or configures the source address of DCC client requests. .Ar - removes the explicit configuration of the source, while .Ar IPaddress sets it. This makes sense only on multi-homed hosts. It can be useful for passing firewalls. .El .Pp .Ss DCC SERVER COMMANDS Commands that can be sent to a DCC server include the following. Most of the commands must be used with the server's .Ar ID specified with the .Ic id command. The specified ID is included in the commands sent to the server The command itself is digitally signed with the first password associated with the ID in the .Pa ids file. The server requires that the signature match one of the passwords associated with the ID in its .Pa ids file. .Bl -tag -width xxx .It Ic delck type hex1 hex2 hex3 hex4 asks the server to delete the .Ar type checksum with value .Ar hex1 hex2 hex3 hex4 . The type and checksum values can be found in .Xr dccproc 8 and .Xr dccm 8 log files or computed with .Em dccproc Fl QC . .Pp There are very few situations where it makes sense to bother to delete checksums. For example, mail that was accidentally reported with a target count of "MANY" is either private and so will not be seen by other people and so will not be affected, or it is bulk and its source so must have already been whitelisted by recipients. .It Ic stats Op Ar all | clear displays current status and statistics from the current DCC server or for .Ar all known DCC servers. The server's counters will be cleared after they are displayed when the server's ID has been specified with the .Ic id Ar ID operation. .It Ic clients Xo .Op Fl nsiaVAK .Op Ar max Op Ar thold .Op Ar addr Ns Op Ar /prefix .Xc displays some of the clients recently seen by the server. .Bl -hang -compact -width xxx .It Fl n displays only the IP addresses and not the names of clients. .It Fl s sorts the clients by the number of requests they have made. .It Fl i counts clients with the same client-ID as single entities. .It Fl a produces 24 hour average numbers of requests. .It Fl A displays only anonymous clients. .It Fl K displays only clients using client-IDs. .It Fl V includes the DCC protocol versions used by clients. .It Ar max displays only the .Ar max most recent clients. .It Ar max Ar thold displays the most recent .Ar max clients that have made at least .Ar thold requests. .It Ar addr Ns Op Ar /prefix restricts the results to the DCC client with that IP address or clients with addresses in that CIDR block. .El .Pp The mechanism that implements this command involves asking the DCC server for the first approximately 100 clients, then the second about 100, and so on, If entries change position in the complete list maintained by the server between requests, the displayed list will have duplicate or missing entries. Only clients heard from since .Ic stats clear was last used are displayed. .It Ic stop tells the DCC server to exit. .It Ic system stop tells the DCC server to exit so that the operating system can be shut down. This tells the DCC server on some systems to delete the dcc_db.hash file to speed system shut down. The file will be rebuilt automatically by .Nm dbclean when the DCC server is restarted. .It Ic clean stop tells the DCC server to exit after applying fsync() to the database. .It Ic reload IDs tells the local DCC server to reload its DCC .Pa ids file immediately. This command is not strictly needed. Every several minutes, the DCC server notices if the file has been changed and automatically reads it. .It Ic flood check tells the DCC server to check for changes in the .Pa flod file and try to restart any of the streams to peers that are broken. .It Ic flood shutdown tells the DCC server to cleanly stop flooding checksums to and from peers. The server will wait for sending and receiving peers to agree to stop. Each .Ic flood shutdown or .Ic flood halt request increases a count of reasons why the server should not flood checksums. .It Ic flood halt tells the DCC server to abruptly stop flooding checksums to and from peers. .It Ic flood rewind Ar server-ID tells the DCC server to ask its peer with .Ar server-ID to rewind and resend its stream of checksums. .It Ic flood ffwd in Ar server-ID tells the DCC server to ask its peer to "fast forward" or skip to the end of the incoming flood. .It Ic flood ffwd out Ar server-ID tells the DCC server to "fast forward" or skip to the current end of the flood to its peer. .It Ic flood resume tells the DCC server to reduce the number of reasons to not flood checksums increased by .Ic flood shutdown and .Ic flood halt. When the number of reasons reaches zero, the server tries to resume flooding. .It Ic flood list displays the list of current incoming and outgoing floods. Each line contains the server-ID of the peer, the IP address and port used for the outgoing flood, the address for the incoming flood if different, and the host name. Only the server-IDs of flooding peers are disclosed with the server's ID. .It Ic flood stats Xo .Op Ic clear .No { .Ar server-ID | all .No } .Xc displays counts of checksum reports sent and received by the current flooding connections to and from .Ar server-ID or .Ar all flooding connections and then optionally clears the counts. .It Ic DB clean is used by .Nm dbclean to tell the server that the database expiration has begun. .It Ic DB new is used by .Nm dbclean to tell the server that the database cleaning is complete. .It Ic flush cache tells the server to flush its cache and to keep it clean. .It Ic cache ok tells the server to resume normal operations after .Ic flush cache . .It Ic clock check asks the DCC server to say how much its clock differs from the local clock. .It Ic clock kludge +/-seconds adjusts the timestamps in server commands to make it possible to control servers with inaccurate clocks. .It Ic trace Ar default turns on .Ar ANON and .Ar CLNT tracing and turns off all others. .It Ic trace Ar mode {on|off} turns the server's tracing .Ar mode on or off. .Ar Mode must be one of: .Bl -tag -width FLOOD2 -offset 2n -compact .It Ar ADMN administrative requests from .Nm .It Ar ANON errors by anonymous clients .It Ar CLNT errors by authenticated clients .It Ar RLIM rate-limited messages .It Ar QUERY all queries and reports .It Ar RIDC messages concerning the report-ID cache that is used to detect duplicate reports from clients .It Ar FLOOD messages about inter-server flooding connections .It Ar FLOOD2 messages about flooded reports .It Ar IDS unknown server-IDs in flooded reports .It Ar BL blacklisted clients .It Ar DB odd database events .It Ar WLIST reports of whitelisted checksums from authenticated, not anonymous DCC clients .El .El .Pp .Nm exits with 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs in operations specified on the command line. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width @prefix@ -compact .It Pa @prefix@ DCC home directory .It Pa map memory mapped file in the home DCC home directory of server host names, port numbers, passwords, measured round trip times (RTT), and so forth. .It Pa ids list of IDs and passwords, as described in .Xr dccd 8 .
