AXSPAWN.CONF(5) Linux Programmer's Manual AXSPAWN.CONF(5)

NAME

axspawn.conf - Control the operation of axspawn.

DESCRIPTION

The axspawn.conf file controls the operation of the axspawn(8) program. The operation of the config file can best be seen in an example:
# this is /etc/ax25/axspawn.conf
 
#
 
# allow automatic creation of user accounts
 
create yes
 
# allow empty password field (so user may login via telnet, too) [default no]
 
create_empty_password no
 
#create_empty_password yes
 
# create with system utility useradd(8)? [default no]
 
#create_with_useradd no
 
create_with_useradd yes
 
#
 
# pwcheck method: password or call or group. [default: password]
 
#pwcheck call
 
#pwcheck group
 
pwcheck password
 
#
 
# guest user if above is 'no' or everything else
 
# fails. Disable with "no"
 
guest guest
 
#
 
# group id or name for autoaccount
 
group hams
 
#
 
# first user id to use
 
first_uid 400
 
#
 
# maximum user id
 
max_uid 2000
 
#
 
# where to add the home directory for the new user
 
home /home/hams
 
#
 
# secure homedirectories (g-rwx)
 
#secure_home yes
 
#
 
# user's shell
 
shell /bin/bash
 
#
 
# bind user id to callsign for outgoing connects.
 
associate yes
The “associate” option has to be used with great care. If a user logs on it removes any existing callsign from the translation table for this userid and replaces it with the callsign and SSID of the user. This will happen with multiple connects (same callsign, different SSIDs), too. Unless you want your users to be able to call out from your machine disable “associate”.
