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".
