.TH DECNET.CONF 5 "8 August 2002" "DECnet for Linux"
.SH NAME
/etc/decnet.proxy \- DECnet proxy file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B /etc/decnet.proxy
is an ASCII file which contains mappings of remote DECnet users to local
users. It is used by
.B 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.
.PP
There is one entry per line, and each line has the following format:
.sp
.RS
node::remoteuser localuser
.RE
.sp
The field descriptions are:
.sp
.RS
.TP 1.0in
.I node
The name or number of the remote node. If this is a name it must appear in
.B 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.
.TP
.I 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.
.TP
.I localuser
The name of a user on the local machine or a single asterisk (*) in which case
the remote username will be substituted.
.BR
.PP
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.
