NAME

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

DESCRIPTION

There are two ways for ppl to determine the remote address, and hence the corresponding ppl.remotes information:

• Specify it on the command line. 

• If not specified on the command line, use the invoking user’s login name to determine the default remote hostname to use by means of this file. 

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 dotted decimal format or a name that is translatable by gethostent(3N). Lines that are blank or begin with a # are ignored.
