     1.4 +Knockd is a port-knock server.
     1.5 +It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking
     1.6 +for special "knock" sequences of port-hits.
     1.7 +A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a
     1.8 +port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens
     1.9 +at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for
    1.10 +a closed port.
    1.11 +When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a
    1.12 +command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up
    1.13 +holes in a firewall for quick access.
