NAME

       decnetconf - Simple configuration script for DECnet

SYNOPSIS

       decnetconf

DESCRIPTION

       decnetconf Is a simple configuration tool for DECnet. It prompts you for your host (executor) name, node address and ethernet interface. It
       then asks for a node name in turn and writes these to a temporary file. When you have finished (by pressing enter on  an  empty	line)  the
       newly created file willbe copied to /etc/decnet.conf.
       This  script is only really useful for the initial set up of a DECnet system, once /etc/decnet.conf has been populated it is easier to edit
       it by hand because this script will overwrite any onformation in it.

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)
