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



NAME
     slip.hosts  -  maps  login  names   to   Compressed   Serial
     Line/Internet Protocl (CSL/IP) client host names

DESCRIPTION
     The /etc/slip.hosts file is configured on the CSL/IP  server
     to  map  a  login  name to the host name of a CSL/IP client.
     The slip command uses /etc/slip.hosts  to  verify  that  the
     user  who  has invoked slip is an authorized CSL/IP user and
     to attach the client system to the network.

     The  /etc/slip.user  file  contains  entries  whose   format
     consists  of  an  Internet  address  and  a login name.  The
     Internet address is the address of a CSL/IP  client  system,
     and  the  login  name  is  the login name that a user who is
     logged in to the CSL/IP client uses to log into  the  CSL/IP
     server. Here is a sample /etc/slip.hosts file:

        128.120.253.1 joe
        128.120.253.2 chris
        128.120.253.3 mike
        128.120.253.4 linda

     The slip command uses the  Internet  address  in  the  first
     field to attach the client system to the network. Therefore,
     when the user joe logs into the CSL/IP server from a  system
     and  invokes  slip,  slip  uses  128.120.253.1  to  make the
     connection. The connection is made  correctly  only  if  the
     user  joe  logs  in  from a system whose Internet address is
     128.120.253.1.

     The slip command interprets a line that begins with a number
     sign (#) as a comment.

     Only the system  administrator  of  the  CSL/IP  server  can
     modify the /etc/slip.hosts file.
