DECNET.CONF(5)							File Formats Manual						    DECNET.CONF(5)

NAME

       /etc/decnet.proxy - DECnet proxy file

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/decnet.proxy is an ASCII file which contains mappings of remote DECnet users to local users. It is used by fal(8) when no username and
       password have been explicitly given to determine whether a user is allowed to access files and also whose files they will get access to.

       There is one entry per line, and each line has the following format:

	      node::remoteuser localuser

       The field descriptions are:

	      node	The name or number of the remote node. If this is a name it must appear in decnet.conf(5) otherwise a DECnet node  address
			should be used. This field is a regular expression: If you want to match a single nodename then you must use the anchors ^
			and $ either side of the name.

	      remoteuser
			a regular expression that may match one or more remote user names. If you want to match a single user then  you  must  use
			the anchors ^ and $ either side of the name.

	      localuser The name of a user on the local machine or a single asterisk (*) in which case the remote username will be substituted.

	      Comments start with a hash mark and continue to the end of that line. They may be on a dedicated line or following an entry.

EXAMPLE

	  #/etc/decnet.proxy
	  # proxy configuration for fal.
	  #
	  ^tramp$::^test$ christine  # Explicitly convert 'test' on tramp to 'christine'
	  ^zaphod$::.*	  none	   # Disable proxies from zaphod (assuming you don't
				   #   have a user called 'none')
	  .*::.* decnet 	   # Like a default DECnet account
	  .*::.* *		   # Equivalent to VMS *::* * proxy (make this last
				   #   if you use it)

NAME

       dnetd - DECnet Super-server

SYNOPSIS

       dnetd [options]
       Options:
       [-dvVhs] [-l logtype] [-p dir]

DESCRIPTION

       dnetd is a daemon that serves incoming connections from remote systems.
       dnetd  reads  the  file /etc/dnetd.conf to determine which daemons are run in response to which objects. See the man page for dnetd.conf(5)
       for more information on the format of this file.
       dnetd can also run scripts or programs on the Linux system that match the TASK name on an object name. eg if the connection  from  VMS  was
       "TASK=showproc"	then  the  program  "showproc"	will be run and the output (stdout only) sent back to the calling process. Note that dnetd
       always converts the task name into lower case.
       dnetd looks for it's scripts in three locations:
       a) In the user's home directory (unless the -s switch was specified.
       b) In the directory pointed to by the environment variable DNTASKDIR (if that variable exists when the daemon is started)
       c) In /usr/local/decnet/tasks
       dntaskd should be started at system boot time (after DECnet has been started) and must be run as root.
       dntaskd reads the decnet.proxy(5) file to authenticate users who do not provide usernames when connecting.

OPTIONS

       -d     Don't fork and run the background. Use this for debugging.

       -v     Verbose. The more of these there are the more verbose dnetd will be. Don't use more than one for normal operation  because  it  will
	      seriously impair performance.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -s     Run in "secure" mode. This just prevents users from running scripts in their home directories. (so it's not really that secure!)

       -p <directory name>
	      Specifies  the  default  directory  name to search for programs named in dnetd.conf(5).  By default dnetd will look in the directory
	      named by $(prefix)/sbin when it was compiled. This is /usr/local/sbin if you compiled from unmodified sources or	/usr/sbin  if  you
	      installed a binary distribution.

       -l     Set logging options. The following are available:
	      -lm Log to /dev/mono. (only useful if you have my mono monitor driver and a second monitor)
	      -le Log to stderr. Use this for debugging or testing combined with -d.
	      -ls Log to syslog(3). This is the default if no options are given.

       -V     Show the version of dnetd.
