NAME

x29localprof − X.29 local PAD profile database

SYNOPSIS

/etc/x29localprof

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/x29localprof file contains information about named PAD profiles for use with the x29login(1X25) utility.  Each profile is defined on a separate line starting with the profile name followed by the parameters to be set.  The profile name and parameters should be separated by a space.  It is recommended that all the parameters apart from parameter 11 be specified in the profile; parameter 11 should not be specified as it is a read-only parameter. 

Certain profile names have a specific meaning.  If a profile called Default is placed in the profile database then this profile will be used if the -p flag is not specified with the x29login command.  The names 90 and 91 are reserved for profiles defined by the CCITT. 

The format of the parameter list defining the profile is

parameter:value,...,parameter:value

where parameter is the CCITT reference number of the parameter (1 to 22), and value is a valid parameter value (0 to 255).  In the following example, the profile Brisbane would set all the parameters to 1:

Brisbane 1:1,2:1,3:1,...,10:1,12:1,...,22:1

Modifying the Local PAD Profile Database

The local PAD profile database can be modified using a text editor or with the x29localsetup(8X25) utility.  Superuser privilege is required to change the local PAD profile database.
