dgateway(5)
NAME
dgateway − name of the intermediate host (DECnet gateway)
DESCRIPTION
The dgateway file contains the ASCII name of the ULTRIX system serving as the intermediate host (gateway system) used by dgate(1c) to connect to the DECnet network. This gateway system must be connected to the local system through a local area (TCP/IP) network, and to DECnet systems through the DECnet network.
The dgate(1c) command first looks in your home directory for a file named .dgateway. The .dgateway file should contain one (and only one) system, followed by a newline. In this case, you must have an account on the gateway system, as the dgate(1c) command will log in to this account to do its work there.
If there is no .dgateway file in your home directory, the dgate(1c) command looks for the file /etc/gateway, which has some optional additional fields, separated by spaces:
gateway [ account ] [ path-to-dgated ]
In this case, the dgate(1c) command logs into the gateway machine using setuid to the account specified. If none is specified, the default of the guest account is used. The last optional field specifies the pathname for the dgated(8) daemon. The default is /etc/dgated.
