6 .TH IN.TIMED 8 "Aug 23, 2004"
8 in.timed \- UDP or TCP time protocol service daemon
17 FMRI \fIsvc\fR:/internet/time:default
23 FMRI stands for Fault Management Resource Identifier. It is used to identify
24 resources managed by the Fault Manager. See \fBfmd\fR(8) and \fBsmf\fR(5).
27 The \fBin.timed\fR service provides the server-side of the time protocol. The
28 time server sends to requestors the time in seconds since midnight, January 1,
29 1900. The time protocol is available on both TCP and UDP transports through
33 The in.timed service is an \fBinetd\fR(8) \fBsmf\fR(5) delegated service. The
34 \fBin.timed\fR detects which transport is requested by examining the socket it
35 is passed by the \fBinetd\fR daemon.
39 \fBTCP-based service\fR
42 Once a connection is established, the \fBin.timed\fR sends the time as a 32-bit
43 binary number and closes the connection. Any received data is ignored.
49 \fBUDP-based service\fR
52 The \fBin.timed\fR listens for UDP datagrams. When a datagram is received, the
53 server generates a UDP datagram containing the time as a 32-bit binary number
54 and sends it to the client. Any received data is ignored.
