Here are defined the general configurations which will be applied to the whole Portslave system.
The machine's hostname.
This machine's IP number (often ommited).
The directory for lock files.
The executable to call when entering in remote login mode.
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)
The executable to call when entering in telnet mode.
The executable to call when entering in SSH mode.
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.
The machine which will take care of system logging.
If you want to log locally, leave this field empty.
Sets the syslog facility.
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.
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).
