Control Access to Inbound Ports
An inbound port is one defined on the “dev” option of the command for one
of the following device types:
• “term” for terminal connections.
• “min” for incoming modem connections.
• “mio” for bi-directional modem connections.
• “hdial” or “hio” for computer connections.
The default configuration for inbound ports is that a login and password are
required to access them.
The login and password requirement for inbound ports can be changed by
configuring either of the following:
• The port, so that it does not require a login and password. In this case,
no one is required to supply a login or password.
• Specific users, so that they do not require a password. In this case,
some users do not supply passwords and others are required.
For more information, see "set ports" on page 169.
Change a Port’s Access Requirements
To configure a port so that no one has to login or specify a password, enter:
#> set logins range=range login=off passwd=off
For example:
#> set logins range=1-2 login=off passwd=off
For more information, see "set logins" on page 152.
Change a User’s Access Requirements
To configure a user so that they do not have to specify a password when
accessing an inbound port, enter:
#> set user name=name password=off
where name is a name to identify the user.
For example:
#> set user name=user1 password=off
For more information, see "set user" on page 230.
