ttsession_file(4)

NAME

ttsession_file - tell ttsession (1) about systemwide defaults.

SYNOPSIS

/etc/default/ttsession

DESCRIPTION

The file /etc/default/ttsession can be used to control the behavior of ttsession processes on the machine on which this file resides. Each line within the file is of the form VAR = value. Currently there are two values which VAR may be assigned:

AUTH = <security_options> [, lock=yes|no]
COMPAT = allow_unauth_types_load = yes|no [, lock=yes|no]

Format rules

The format rules for a ttsesssion_file are:

1. All lines must be command (VAR = value) lines.

2. Words may be delimited by white space.

3. A command line of the form:

AUTH = <security_options>

follows the same format fules which are used in the "-a" option to ttsession(1).

4. A command line of the form:

COMPAT = allow_unauth_types_load = yes|no

means to allow("yes") or disallow("no") users to successfully call the ToolTalk API function tt_session_types_load(3). The default is "no".

5. Adding the comma seperated suffix:

"lock = yes|no"

to either of the format lines allows ("no") or disallows ("yes") the value to be overridden by a given instance of ttsession(1) via arguments passed to the ttsession process. The default is "no".

EXAMPLES

This example allows calls to tt_session_types_load(3) systemwide:

COMPAT = allow_unauth_types_load = yes

This example sets systemwide security to a specified level, and disallows per-session override on this host:

AUTH = gss,mechanism=kerberos_v5,qop=GSS_KRB5_CONF_C_QOP_DES, lock = yes
