slip.hosts(4)                                       slip.hosts(4)



     NAME
          slip.hosts - map user names to host addresses of slip client

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/slip.hosts

     DESCRIPTION
          The slip.hosts file must be configured on the slip server to
          establish slip connections between the slip client and the
          slip host.  slip(1M) is a program that assigns a tty line to
          a network interface for a point-to-point TCP/IP link.

          Only the system administrator of the slip host can modify
          the /etc/slip.hosts file, which contains the Internet ad-
          dress and user name for each user with a slip connection to
          the slip server.  A sample slip.hosts file is

             # dialup slip.hosts table
             # maps usercodes to host addresses
             #
             128.120.253.1 joe
             128.120.253.2 chris
             128.120.253.3 mike
             128.120.253.4 linda

          The Internet address in the first field is to be used when
          the user specified in the second field invokes slip.
