User Field
The user field (user ID mapping) of a server table entry determines the way
in which the calling user ID is treated. The user ID in the call request may
be passed to the program unchanged, translated (mapped) into a new user
ID, restricted to a range, or ignored altogether by using a fixed user ID. See
Table 3-2.
Regardless of the user ID mapping mode specified, a valid /etc/passwd entry
must exist for the resultant user ID in order for the server table entry to
match the call request. A program cannot be invoked with an invalid or ille-
gal user ID.
/ If a / flag is present, the flags that follow it act as the default flag settings
and the user-supplied protocol field portion of the dialstring (if any) replac-
es the part after the /. This flag is invalid if the user-supplied protocol field
contains illegal flags or if it contains an I, L, R, T or U flag.
The flags for remote execution channels are often specified as /vaex to in-
dicate that the default is to honor arguments, environment variables, and to
return an exit code.
| If a | flag is present, the list of STREAMS modules that follows the | will
be pushed onto the stdin STREAM. The STREAMS module list should be
separated by colons (:) if more than one STREAMS module is specified.
The | flag should be the last flag specified in the flag field.
Et The Et flag may appear only in the dialstring as the final two characters of
the protocol field. dkserver sets the endpoint type to t, overriding the de-
fault value provided by the data switch network. The character t must be a
valid data switch endpoint type code. See dkepoint(3X) for additional in-
formation.
