devassign(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual devassign(4)
NAME
devassign - Device assignment database file (Enhanced Security)
DESCRIPTION
The system supports a single device assignment database that contains entries for login terminals and X terminals. Authentication programs
use information in the device assignment database to determine if a login is permitted on the terminal. Information from the terminal con-
trol database, /etc/auth/system/ttys.db, can also affect terminal login permissions.
A device assignment database entry consists of keyword field identifiers and values for those fields. If a necessary value is not speci-
fied in an entry, a default value for the field is supplied from the system default file, /etc/auth/system/default. The edauth utility is
used to alter device assignment database entries.
The format of the terminal control database file is identical to other system authentication database files and is described in the auth-
cap(4) reference page. The following keyword identifiers are supported: The identifier in this field specifies a comma-separated list of
aliases that refer to the same device defined by the entry. Use of this field avoids the need to replicate device assignment database
entries for all device aliases. This field is ignored if it is set in a template or in the default database. This field specifies the
device that is described by the entry. Device types supported include: The device is assigned as a local login terminal device. The X
windows display entry for handling graphics heads or X terminals.
This field is ignored if it is set in a template or in the default database. This field, if specified, contains a comma-separated list of
user names that are permitted to use the device for login or the import and export of data. If the list is not present, all users are per-
mitted to use the device. If the list is present, it is searched for a match by the login program to determine if the user is permitted to
use the device.
This field is ignored if it is set in a template or in the default database.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows a device assignment database entry for a terminal device with a list of allowed users: tty0:v_devs=/dev/tty0:
:v_type=terminal:v_users=may,tdy,ssv,rgb: :chkent:
The following example shows a device assignment database entry for an X terminal device:
local:0|local:0.0:v_devs=local:0,local:0.0:v_type=xdisplay:chkent:
FILES
Specifies the pathname of the file.
