defumask entry, use umask as the default for classes that do not have a defumask
entry.
The syntax for the defumask clause is as follows:
defumask umask [ class ]
Example 6 The defumask Clause
The following are some examples for the defumask clause:
defumask 0177
defumask 0133 ClassA
This clause creates files with the permission -rw-r--r-- for a user of ClassA.
For other users, files are created with the permission -rw-------.
• Limitations on the Number of Lines of Output
This feature allows you to limit the number of lines of output that can be sent to the
remote client. By default, the limit is set to 20.
The syntax for controlling the maximum number of lines of output is as follows:
site-exec-max-lines <number> [ class ...]
Example 7 The site-exec-max-lines Clause
The following are some examples for the site-exec-max-lines clause:
site-exec-max-lines 200 remote
site-exec-max-lines 0 local
site-exec-max-lines 25
Example 7 contains three example statements for the site-exec-max-lines
clause. The first example limits the output from SITE EXEC (therefore SITE INDEX)
to 200 lines for remote users. The second example specifies no limit for local users.
The third example sets a limit of 25 lines for all other users.
• Root Directory Specification
This feature specifies the root directory when a user logs in as an anonymous or
guest user.
The syntax for specifying the root directory is as follows:
anonymous-root <root-dir> [ class ]
guest-root <root-dir> [ uid-range ]
