NAME

ppl.users − translate user login names to default remote host names

DESCRIPTION

ppl determines the remote address and the corresponding ppl.remotes information in two ways (see ppl(1)):

• The remote hostname is specified on the command line. 

• If not specified on the command line, ppl uses the invoking user’s login name to determine the default remote hostname specified in ppl.users. 

ppl.users contains a series of login-name/remote-host pairs, one pair per line.  The login name must appear in /etc/passwd.  The remote host can be either in dot notation or a name that is translatable by gethostent() (see gethostent(3N)). Blank lines or lines beginning with a # are ignored.
