users
Syntax: set users [range=range]
set users name=username [passwd=on|off][auto=on|off]
[dest=IPaddress][dport=tcp_port#]
set users rmuser=username
set users rmuser=on range=range
set users newname=newusername name=oldusername
This command sets or displays the user name table. Making changes with this command requires
root privileges. More than one option can be included in a command. Options are:
auto dport dest name newname passwd
range rmuser save
set users [range=range]
If the set users command is entered with no options (or just a range), it displays
the current users table (or a range of entries from the table).
set users name=username [passwd=on|off][auto=on|off]
[dest=IPaddress][dport=tcp_port#]
This form of the set users command makes a new user entry, or changes an
existing user entry. Set username to the name of the user. If the name matches an
existing entry, that entry will be modified by this commandotherwise a new table
entry will be created. Setting passwd=on will require the user to enter a password
when logging in; setting passwd=off allows the user to log in without a password.
If a new user that requires a password is created, the initial password is the same as
the user name.
• If auto is set to off,theuserusername is presented with the PortServer com-
mand line after logging in.
• If auto is turned on,theuserusername will always be connected to the
destination specified by dest=IPaddress and dport=tcp_port#, completely
bypassing the PortServer command shell. (IPaddress is the IP address of the
host that this user should automatically be connected to, and tcp_port# is the
host TCP port that the connection should be made to: 23 means telnet, 513
means rlogin; the default 0 is mapped to rlogin. (Check your operating system
documentation for service numbers.)
