BNU files with direct connection in the local system's files
These files contain telephone connection entries on the
local system zeus
.
- Systems file: The Systems file on
system
zeus
contains the following entry for the remote systemhera
:hera Any hera 1200 - "" \r\d\r\d\r in:--in: uzeus word: thunder
This entry specifies that system
hera
can log in to systemzeus
at any time, by using a direct connection, which is specified in the Devices files. To find the entry in the Devices files, BNU uses the third and fourth fields of the Systems entry. Thus, BNU looks for an entry in the Devices files with a Type ofhera
and a Class of1200
. Systemzeus
logs in to systemhera
as useruzeus
with the passwordthunder
. - Devices file: The Devices file on
system
zeus
contains the following entry to connect to the remote systemhera
:hera tty5 - 1200 direct
This entry specifies that system
zeus
uses devicetty5
at1200
bps to communicate with systemhera
. Note that the Dialer in both Dialer-Token Pairs fields isdirect
. When you connect to systemhera
, BNU checks the Dialers file for adirect
entry. - Dialers file: The Dialers file on
system
zeus
contains the following entry for direct connections:direct
This entry specifies that no handshaking is required for direct connection.
- Permissions file: The Permissions file
on the local system
zeus
contains the following entry, which specifies the ways in which the remote systemhera
can conduct uucico and uuxqt transactions with systemzeus
:LOGNAME=uhera MACHINE=hera VALIDATE=uhera REQUEST=yes \ SENDFILES=yes MACHINE=zeus READ=/ WRITE=/ COMMANDS=ALL
This entry specifies that system
hera
logs in asuhera
. Because theVALIDATE=uhera
option is included, systemhera
cannot log in to systemzeus
with any other login ID, nor can any other remote system use theuhera
ID. Systemhera
can read and write to any directory on systemzeus
, and can send and request files regardless of who initiated the call. Systemhera
can also initiate any commands on systemzeus
.Note: Because the permissions that are granted are the same regardless of which system initiated the connection, the LOGNAME and MACHINE entries have been combined. If the permissions are not the same for systemhera
and systemzeus
, the LOGNAME and MACHINE entries are as follows:LOGNAME=uhera REQUEST=yes SENDFILES=yes READ=/ WRITE=/ MACHINE=zeus:hera VALIDATE=uhera READ=/ WRITE=/ REQUEST=yes \ COMMANDS=ALL
Attention: Providing the permissions in the preceding example is equivalent to giving any user on the remote system a login ID on the local system. Such liberal permissions can jeopardize your security and are given only to well-trusted remote systems at the same site.
