mkslipuser(1M)                                     mkslipuser(1M)



     NAME
          mkslipuser - initialize the slip user database

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/mkslipuser

     DESCRIPTION
          mkslipuser is used to create the file /etc/slip.user based
          on the configuration file /etc/slip.config.  The
          /etc/slip.user file records the current number of slip users
          on the system and the number of available slip interfaces.
          The /etc/slip.user file is not human readable.  Use
          dslipuser(1M) to display the contents of the /etc/slip.user
          file.

          Only the superuser may initialize the slip user database.
