Host
This field defines which network host the user’s session is forwarded to. Use the following command:
set user <user name> host <default prompt IP address>
Default Consult the ports table to obtain the default host for the port the user has dialed into and connect the user to the host listed there.
Prompt Allow the user to select a host (either by IP address or name) to begin a login session.
IP address Connect the user to the host whose address is entered here. This must be a valid name or IP address.
Service
This is the Login Service the user is configured for. The default is Telnet. Use the following command:
set user <name> service <rlogin telnet netdata portmux>
Telnet | Supported by most TCP/IP computers, Telnet lets |
| the user log in to hosts that support it. If you set a |
| terminal type, Telnet will pass that information |
| along. Otherwise, it negotiates a standard, Net- |
| work Virtual Terminal interface. |
Rlogin | Although Rlogin was originally a (BSD) UNIX only |
| protocol, it is now supported by some |
| machines as well. Unlike Telnet, Rlogin allows a |
| user logged into a host, to access their accounts on |
| other (trusted) hosts without reentering a pass- |
| word. Rlogin requires that you specify a terminal |
| type. |
PortMux | (Default) PortMux is similar to Telnet except that it |
| multiplexes many Telnet sessions into a single data |
| stream that’s more efficient to transmit and requires |
| fewer connections. PortMux requires that the host |
| be running a special PortMux daemon (in.pmd). |
| Note that this daemon also allows the host to use |
| NETServer ports set to Host Device as pseudo |
| TTYs (See Chapter 7). A UNIX version of the |
| PortMux daemon is available on the U.S. Robotics |
| web site. |
