Server network services

Server network services include controlling remote access, starting or stopping TCP/IP, and managing the pty device driver, as shown in this table.

The pty device driver is installed automatically with the system. By default, it is configured to support 16 BSD-style symbolic links, and it is available for use by the system at boot time.
