+.Sh 1 "Network setup"
+.PP
+\*(4B provides support for the standard Internet
+protocols IP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP. These protocols may be used
+on top of a variety of hardware devices ranging from
+serial lines to local area network controllers
+for the Ethernet. Network services are split between the
+kernel (communication protocols) and user programs (user
+services such as TELNET and FTP). This section describes
+how to configure your system to use the Internet networking support.
+\*(4B also supports the Xerox Network Systems (NS) protocols.
+IDP and SPP are implemented in the kernel,
+and other protocols such as Courier run at the user level.
+\*(4B provides some support for the ISO OSI protocols CLNP
+TP4, and ESIS. User level process
+complete the application protocols such as X.400 and X.500.
+.Sh 2 "System configuration"
+.PP
+To configure the kernel to include the Internet communication
+protocols, define the INET option.
+Xerox NS support is enabled with the NS option.
+ISO OSI support is enabled with the ISO option.
+In either case, include the pseudo-devices
+``pty'', and ``loop'' in your machine's configuration
+file.
+The ``pty'' pseudo-device forces the pseudo terminal device driver
+to be configured into the system, see
+.Xr pty (4),
+while the ``loop'' pseudo-device forces inclusion of the software loopback
+interface driver.
+The loop driver is used in network testing
+and also by the error logging system.
+.PP
+If you are planning to use the Internet network facilities on a 10Mb/s
+Ethernet, the pseudo-device ``ether'' should also be included
+in the configuration; this forces inclusion of the Address Resolution
+Protocol module used in mapping between 48-bit Ethernet
+and 32-bit Internet addresses.
+.PP
+Before configuring the appropriate networking hardware, you should
+consult the manual pages in section 4 of the Programmer's Manual
+selecting the appropriate interfaces for your architecture.
+.PP
+All network interface drivers including the loopback interface,
+require that their host address(es) be defined at boot time.
+This is done with
+.Xr ifconfig (8)
+commands included in the
+.Pn /etc/netstart
+file.
+Interfaces that are able to dynamically deduce the host
+part of an address may check that the host part of the address is correct.
+The manual page for each network interface
+describes the method used to establish a host's address.
+.Xr Ifconfig (8)
+can also be used to set options for the interface at boot time.
+Options are set independently for each interface, and
+apply to all packets sent using that interface.
+Alternatively, translations for such hosts may be set in advance
+or ``published'' by a \*(4B host by use of the
+.Xr arp (8)
+command.
+Note that the use of trailer link-level is now negotiated between \*(4B hosts
+using ARP,
+and it is thus no longer necessary to disable the use of trailers
+with
+.Xr ifconfig .
+.PP
+The OSI equivalent to ARP is ESIS (End System to Intermediate System Routing
+Protocol); running this protocol is mandatory, however one can manually add
+translations for machines that do not participate by use of the
+.Xr route (8)
+command.
+Additional information is provided in the manual page describing
+.Xr ESIS (4).
+.PP
+To use the pseudo terminals just configured, device
+entries must be created in the
+.Pn /dev
+directory. To create 32
+pseudo terminals (plenty, unless you have a heavy network load)
+execute the following commands.
+.DS
+\fB#\fP \fIcd /dev\fP
+\fB#\fP \fIMAKEDEV pty0 pty1\fP
+.DE
+More pseudo terminals may be made by specifying
+.Pn pty2 ,
+.Pn pty3 ,
+etc. The kernel normally includes support for 32 pseudo terminals
+unless the configuration file specifies a different number.
+Each pseudo terminal really consists of two files in
+.Pn /dev :
+a master and a slave. The master pseudo terminal file is named
+.Pn /dev/ptyp? ,
+while the slave side is
+.Pn /dev/ttyp? .
+Pseudo terminals are also used by several programs not related to the network.
+In addition to creating the pseudo terminals,
+be sure to install them in the
+.Pn /etc/ttys
+file (with a `none' in the second column so no
+.Xr getty
+is started).
+.Sh 2 "Local subnets"
+.PP
+In \*(4B the Internet support
+includes the notion of ``subnets''. This is a mechanism
+by which multiple local networks may appears as a single Internet
+network to off-site hosts. Subnetworks are useful because
+they allow a site to hide their local topology, requiring only a single
+route in external gateways;
+it also means that local network numbers may be locally administered.
+The standard describing this change in Internet addressing is RFC-950.
+.PP
+To set up local subnets one must first decide how the available
+address space (the Internet ``host part'' of the 32-bit address)
+is to be partitioned.
+Sites with a class A network
+number have a 24-bit host address space with which to work, sites with a
+class B network number have a 16-bit host address space, while sites with
+a class C network number have an 8-bit host address space\**.
+.FS
+If you are unfamiliar with the Internet addressing structure, consult
+``Address Mappings'', Internet RFC-796, J. Postel; available from
+the Internet Network Information Center at SRI.
+.FE
+To define local subnets you must steal some bits
+from the local host address space for use in extending the network
+portion of the Internet address. This reinterpretation of Internet
+addresses is done only for local networks; i.e. it is not visible
+to hosts off-site. For example, if your site has a class B network
+number, hosts on this network have an Internet address that contains
+the network number, 16 bits, and the host number, another
+16 bits. To define 254 local subnets, each
+possessing at most 255 hosts, 8 bits may be taken from the local part.
+(The use of subnets 0 and all-1's, 255 in this example, is discouraged
+to avoid confusion about broadcast addresses.)
+These new network
+numbers are then constructed by concatenating the original 16-bit network
+number with the extra 8 bits containing the local subnet number.
+.PP
+The existence of local subnets is communicated to the system at the time a
+network interface is configured with the
+.I netmask
+option to the
+.Xr ifconfig
+program. A ``network mask'' is specified to define the
+portion of the Internet address that is to be considered the network part
+for that network.
+This mask normally contains the bits corresponding to the standard
+network part as well as the portion of the local part
+that has been assigned to subnets.
+If no mask is specified when the address is set,
+it will be set according to the class of the network.
+For example, at Berkeley (class B network 128.32) 8 bits
+of the local part have been reserved for defining subnets;
+consequently the
+.Pn /etc/netstart
+file contains lines of the form
+.DS
+.ft CW
+/sbin/ifconfig le0 netmask 0xffffff00 128.32.1.7
+.DE
+This specifies that for interface ``le0'', the upper 24 bits of
+the Internet address should be used in calculating network numbers
+(netmask 0xffffff00), and the interface's Internet address is
+``128.32.1.7'' (host 7 on network 128.32.1). Hosts \fIm\fP on
+sub-network \fIn\fP of this network would then have addresses of
+the form ``128.32.\fIn\fP.\fIm\fP''; for example, host
+99 on network 129 would have an address ``128.32.129.99''.
+For hosts with multiple interfaces, the network mask should
+be set for each interface,
+although in practice only the mask of the first interface on each network
+is really used.
+.Sh 2 "Internet broadcast addresses"
+.PP
+The address defined as the broadcast address for Internet networks
+according to RFC-919 is the address with a host part of all 1's.
+The address used by 4.2BSD was the address with a host part of 0.
+\*(4B uses the standard broadcast address (all 1's) by default,
+but allows the broadcast address to be set (with
+.Xr ifconfig )
+for each interface.
+This allows networks consisting of both 4.2BSD, \*(Ps and \*(4B hosts
+to coexist while the upgrade process proceeds.
+In the presence of subnets, the broadcast address uses the subnet field
+as for normal host addresses, with the remaining host part set to 1's
+(or 0's, on a network that has not yet been converted).
+\*(4B hosts recognize and accept packets
+sent to the logical-network broadcast address as well as those sent
+to the subnet broadcast address, and when using an all-1's broadcast,
+also recognize and receive packets sent to host 0 as a broadcast.
+.Sh 2 "Routing"
+.PP
+If your environment allows access to networks not directly
+attached to your host you will need to set up routing information
+to allow packets to be properly routed. Two schemes are
+supported by the system. The first scheme
+employs a routing table management daemon.
+Optimally, you should use the routing daemon
+.Xr gated
+available from Cornell university.
+We use it on our systems and it works well,
+especially for multi-homed hosts using Serial Line IP (SLIP).
+Unfortunately, we were not able to obtain permission to
+include it on \*(4B.
+.PP
+If you do not wish to or cannot obtain
+.Xr gated ,
+the distribution does include
+.Xr routed (8)
+to maintain the system routing tables. The routing daemon
+uses a variant of the Xerox Routing Information Protocol
+to maintain up to date routing tables in a cluster of local
+area networks. By using the
+.Pn /etc/gateways
+file, the routing daemon can also be used to initialize static routes
+to distant networks (see the next section for further discussion).
+When the routing daemon is started up
+(usually from
+.Pn /etc/rc )
+it reads
+.Pn /etc/gateways
+if it exists and installs those routes defined there,
+then broadcasts on each local network
+to which the host is attached to find other instances of the routing
+daemon. If any responses are received, the routing daemons
+cooperate in maintaining a globally consistent view of routing
+in the local environment. This view can be extended to include
+remote sites also running the routing daemon by setting up suitable
+entries in
+.Pn /etc/gateways ;
+consult
+.Xr routed (8)
+for a more thorough discussion.
+.PP
+The second approach is to define a default or wildcard
+route to a smart
+gateway and depend on the gateway to provide ICMP routing
+redirect information to dynamically create a routing data
+base. This is done by adding an entry of the form
+.DS
+.ft CW
+/sbin/route add default \fIsmart-gateway\fP 1
+.DE
+to
+.Pn /etc/netstart ;
+see
+.Xr route (8)
+for more information. The default route
+will be used by the system as a ``last resort''
+in routing packets to their destination. Assuming the gateway
+to which packets are directed is able to generate the proper
+routing redirect messages, the system will then add routing
+table entries based on the information supplied. This approach
+has certain advantages over the routing daemon, but is
+unsuitable in an environment where there are only bridges (i.e.
+pseudo gateways that, for instance, do not generate routing
+redirect messages). Further, if the
+smart gateway goes down there is no alternative, save manual
+alteration of the routing table entry, to maintaining service.
+.PP
+The system always listens, and processes, routing redirect
+information, so it is possible to combine both of the above
+facilities. For example, the routing table management process
+might be used to maintain up to date information about routes
+to geographically local networks, while employing the wildcard
+routing techniques for ``distant'' networks. The
+.Xr netstat (1)
+program may be used to display routing table contents as well
+as various routing oriented statistics. For example,
+.DS
+\fB#\fP \fInetstat \-r\fP
+.DE
+will display the contents of the routing tables, while
+.DS
+\fB#\fP \fInetstat \-r \-s\fP
+.DE
+will show the number of routing table entries dynamically
+created as a result of routing redirect messages, etc.
+.Sh 2 "Use of \*(4B machines as gateways"
+.PP
+Several changes have been made in \*(4B in the area of gateway support
+(or packet forwarding, if one prefers).
+A new configuration option, GATEWAY, is used when configuring
+a machine to be used as a gateway.
+This option increases the size of the routing hash tables in the kernel.
+Unless configured with that option,
+hosts with only a single non-loopback interface never attempt
+to forward packets or to respond with ICMP error messages to misdirected
+packets.
+This change reduces the problems that may occur when different hosts
+on a network disagree on the network number or broadcast address.
+Another change is that \*(4B machines that forward packets back through
+the same interface on which they arrived
+will send ICMP redirects to the source host if it is on the same network.
+This improves the interaction of \*(4B gateways with hosts that configure
+their routes via default gateways and redirects.
+The generation of redirects may be disabled with the configuration option
+IPSENDREDIRECTS=0 or while the system is running by using the command:
+.DS
+.ft CW
+sysctl -w net.inet.ip.redirect=0
+.DE
+in environments where it may cause difficulties.
+.Sh 2 "Network databases"
+.PP
+Several data files are used by the network library routines
+and server programs. Most of these files are host independent
+and updated only rarely.
+.br
+.ne 1i
+.TS
+lfC l l.

+The files distributed are set up for Internet hosts.
+Local networks and hosts should be added to describe the local
+configuration; the Berkeley entries may serve as examples
+(see also the section on
+.Pn /etc/hosts ).
+Network numbers will have to be chosen for each Ethernet.
+For sites connected to the Internet,
+the normal channels should be used for allocation of network
+numbers (contact hostmaster@SRI-NIC.ARPA).
+For other sites,
+these could be chosen more or less arbitrarily,
+but it is generally better to request official numbers
+to avoid conversion if a connection to the Internet (or others on the Internet)
+is ever established.
+.Sh 3 "Network servers"
+.PP
+Most network servers are automatically started up at boot time
+by the command file
+.Pn /etc/rc
+or by the Internet daemon (see below).
+These include the following:
+.TS
+lfC l l.
+Program Server Started by
+_
+/usr/sbin/syslogd error logging server \f(CW/etc/rc\fP
+/usr/sbin/named Internet name server \f(CW/etc/rc\fP

+/usr/libexec/fingerd Finger server inetd
+/usr/libexec/tftpd TFTP server inetd
+.TE
+Consult the manual pages and accompanying documentation (particularly
+for named and sendmail) for details about their operation.
+.PP
+The use of
+.Xr routed
+and
+.Xr rwhod
+is controlled by shell
+variables set in
+.Pn /etc/netstart .
+By default,
+.Xr routed
+is used, but
+.Xr rwhod
+is not; they are enabled by setting the variables \fIroutedflags\fP and
+.Xr rwhod
+to strings other than ``NO.''
+The value of \fIroutedflags\fP provides host-specific options to
+.Xr routed .
+For example,
+.DS
+.ft CW
+routedflags=-q
+rwhod=NO
+.DE
+would run
+.Xr "routed -q"
+and would not run
+.Xr rwhod .
+.PP
+To have other network servers started as well,
+commands of the following sort should be placed in the site-dependent file
+.Pn /etc/rc.local .
+.DS
+.ft CW
+if [ -f /usr/sbin/timed ]; then
+ /usr/sbin/timed & echo -n ' timed' >/dev/console
+f\&i
+.DE
+.Sh 3 "Internet daemon"
+.PP
+In \*(4B most of the servers for user-visible services are started up by a
+``super server'', the Internet daemon. The Internet
+daemon,
+.Pn /usr/sbin/inetd ,
+acts as a master server for
+programs specified in its configuration file,
+.Pn /etc/inetd.conf ,
+listening for service requests for these servers, and starting
+up the appropriate program whenever a request is received.
+The configuration file contains lines containing a service
+name (as found in
+.Pn /etc/services ),
+the type of socket the
+server expects (e.g. stream or dgram), the protocol to be
+used with the socket (as found in
+.Pn /etc/protocols ),
+whether to wait for each server to complete before starting up another,
+the user name by which the server should run, the server
+program's name, and at most five arguments to pass to the
+server program.
+Some trivial services are implemented internally in
+.Xr inetd ,
+and their servers are listed as ``internal.''
+For example, an entry for the file
+transfer protocol server would appear as
+.DS
+.ft CW
+ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd
+.DE
+Consult
+.Xr inetd (8)
+for more detail on the format of the configuration file
+and the operation of the Internet daemon.
+.Sh 3 "The \f(CW/etc/hosts.equiv\fP file"
+.PP
+The remote login and shell servers use an
+authentication scheme based on trusted hosts. The
+.Pn hosts.equiv
+file contains a list of hosts that are considered trusted
+and, under a single administrative control. When a user
+contacts a remote login or shell server requesting service,
+the client process passes the user's name and the official
+name of the host on which the client is located. In the simple
+case, if the host's name is located in
+.Pn hosts.equiv
+and the user has an account on the server's machine, then service
+is rendered (i.e. the user is allowed to log in, or the command
+is executed). Users may expand this ``equivalence'' of
+machines by installing a
+.Pn \&.rhosts
+file in their login directory.
+The root login is handled specially, bypassing the
+.Pn hosts.equiv
+file, and using only the
+.Pn /.rhosts
+file.
+.PP
+Thus, to create a class of equivalent machines, the
+.Pn hosts.equiv
+file should contain the \fIofficial\fP names for those machines.
+If you are running the name server, you may omit the domain part
+of the host name for machines in your local domain.
+For example, four machines on our local
+network are considered trusted, so the
+.Pn hosts.equiv
+file is of the form:
+.DS
+.ft CW
+vangogh.CS.Berkeley.EDU
+picasso.CS.Berkeley.EDU
+okeeffe.CS.Berkeley.EDU
+.DE
+.Sh 3 "The \f(CW/etc/ftpusers\fP file"
+.PP
+The FTP server included in the system provides support for an
+anonymous FTP account. Because of the inherent security problems
+with such a facility you should read this section carefully if
+you consider providing such a service.
+.PP
+An anonymous account is enabled by creating a user
+.Xr ftp .
+When a client uses the anonymous account a
+.Xr chroot (2)
+system call is performed by the server to restrict the client
+from moving outside that part of the filesystem where the
+user ftp home directory is located. Because a
+.Xr chroot
+call is used, certain programs and files used by the server
+process must be placed in the ftp home directory.
+Further, one must be
+sure that all directories and executable images are unwritable.
+The following directory setup is recommended. The
+use of the
+.Xr awk
+commands to copy the
+.Pn /etc/passwd
+and
+.Pn /etc/group
+files are \fBSTRONGLY\fP recommended.
+.DS
+\fB#\fP \fIcd ~ftp\fP
+\fB#\fP \fIchmod 555 .; chown ftp .; chgrp ftp .\fP

+\fB#\fP \fIawk -F: '{$2="*";print$1":"$2":"}' < /etc/group > group\fP
+\fB#\fP \fIchmod 444 passwd group\fP
+.DE
+When local users wish to place files in the anonymous
+area, they must be placed in a subdirectory. In the
+setup here, the directory
+.Pn ~ftp/pub
+is used.
+.PP
+Aside from the problems of directory modes and such,
+the ftp server may provide a loophole for interlopers
+if certain user accounts are allowed.
+The file
+.Pn /etc/ftpusers
+is checked on each connection.
+If the requested user name is located in the file, the
+request for service is denied. This file normally has
+the following names on our systems.
+.DS
+uucp
+root
+.DE
+Accounts without passwords need not be listed in this file as the ftp
+server will refuse service to these users.
+Accounts with nonstandard shells (any not listed in
+.Pn /etc/shells )
+will also be denied access via ftp.
