NAME

       uronode.perms - URONode permissions file.

DESCRIPTION

       URONode.perms  file  is  read  at program startup with the knowledge of users username (call), connection
       type (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE, TCP/IP), peers IP address (for TCP/IP) and port name (for AX.25).  The  first
       entry  matching  this information is taken and user is asked for password and given permissions according
       to it.

       The lines within uronode.perms must either be a comment line, which starts with a # in the first  column,
       or a permission entry in the following format, each field being delimited by white space:

              username type portname password permissions

       The field descriptions are:

       username      This  is  matched  against  users username (call) without SSID. An asterisk (*) matches any
                     username.

       type          This is matched against the type of the connection to user.  Possible values for this field
                     are:

                     *      matches any type of connection.

                     ax25   matches users coming in with AX.25 and FlexNet.

                     netrom matches users coming in with NET/ROM.

                     rose   matches users coming in with ROSE.

                     local  matches TCP/IP connections where users host is in  "local"  network  as  defined  in
                            uronode.conf(5).

                     ampr   matches TCP/IP connections where users host is in amprnet (44.0.0.0/8).

                     inet   matches  TCP/IP  connections  where  users host is neither in "local" network nor in
                            amprnet.

                     host   matches users starting URONode from shell.

       portname      If user is coming in with AX.25 this field is matched against the local port name the  user
                     is coming in via. An asterisk (*) matches any port name.

       password      If  the previous three fields match and this field is not a single asterisk (*) the user is
                     asked for a password. The password is then matched against this field.

       permissions   This field represents a a bitmask of operations the user is permitted to do. It is a sum of
                     the values listed here:

                     1      permits logging in even if no other permissions are given.

                     2      permits outgoing AX.25 and Flexnet connects.

                     4      permits outgoing NET/ROM connects.

                     8      permits telneting to hosts in the "local" network as defined in uronode.conf(5).

                     16     permits telneting to hosts in amprnet.

                     32     permits telneting to hosts neither in the "local" network nor in amprnet.

                     64     ANSI Color flag. Enable per interface to allow the user to have ANSI color  graphics
                            on their terminal. A "*" for the interface will flag color ON for all interfaces for
                            that  callsign. Suggested to leave OFF unless requested by the end user... but looks
                            kewl in a shell terminal.

                     128    permits outgoing ROSE connects.

                     256    The no-escape flag. Disables the escape mechanism for this user.
