gifconfig

The gifconfig command configures the physical address for the generic IP tunnel interface. See the gifconfig(1M) man page for more information.

logger

logger provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3STDC) system log module. For more information, see the logger(1M) man page.

named-xfer is an ancillary program executed by named(1M) to perform an inbound zone transfer. For more information, see the named-xfer(1M) man page.

ndp

The ndp command manipulates the address mapping table used by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP). For more information, see the ndp(1M) man page.

passwd

The passwd command changes the user's local, Kerberos, or NIS password. For more information, see the passwd(1M) man page.

pdump

The C_INIT(1M) built-in command, pdump, dumps a core image of a specified process as an ELF format file. See the pdump(1M) man page for more information.

ping6

The ping6 command uses the ICMPv6 protocol's mandatory ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP6_ECHO_REPLY from a host or gateway. See the ping6(1M) man page for more information.

pwd_mkdb

The pwd_mkdb utility creates secure and insecure password databases for a specified file. For more information, see the pwd_mkdb(1M) man page.

rtsold

The rtsold daemon sends ICMPv6 router solicitation messages on specified interfaces. For more information, see the rtsold(1M) man page.

sync

The sync command executes the sync system primitive. If the system is to be stopped, sync must be called to ensure file system integrity. For more information, see the sync(1M) man page.

syslogd

The syslogd daemon reads and logs messages to the system console, log files, other machines or users as specified by its configuration file. See the syslogd(1M) man page for more information.
