1. (Global) Settings

Here are defined the general configurations which will be applied to the whole Portslave system.

1.1 Hostname

The machine's hostname.

1.2 IP number

This machine's IP number (often ommited).

1.3 Lock directory

The directory for lock files.

1.4 Remote login

The executable to call when entering in remote login mode.

1.5 PPPd

The executable to call as PPP daemon (normally the Portslave's own PPPd is going to be used since it has some necessary extensions on it)

1.6 Telnet

The executable to call when entering in telnet mode.

1.7 SSH

The executable to call when entering in SSH mode.

1.8 Local logins

When active, allows login using the local machine's account.

This is useful for maintenance when, for some reason, the accounting host is unreachable or down.

The login name must be provided with a '!' as prefix in order to be recognized as a local account.

1.9 Syslog

The machine which will take care of system logging.

If you want to log locally, leave this field empty.

1.10 Facility

Sets the syslog facility.

1.11 Filter directory

Directory where your scripts that set up IP filtering (typically using ipfwadmin) are stored.

To invoke them, just add the RADIUS-attribute Framed-Filter-Id = "foo" to your profile, where foo is the name of script.

1.12 Strip names

If enabled, leading "P", "S", "C", "L" or "!" characters and trailing ".slip", ".cslip" and ".ppp" strings will be stripped from the username before it is recorded in the system utmp and wtmp files (if sysutmp or syswtmp are turned on, of course).
