NAME

axspawn.conf - Control the operation of axspawn. 

DESCRIPTION

Theaxspawn.conffile controls the operation of the axspawn(8) program. The operation of theconfig file can best be seen in an example:

# this is /etc/ax25/axspawn.conf
#
# allow automatic creation of user accounts
create yes
#
# guest user if above is 'no' or everything else
# fails. Disable with "no"
guest ax25
#
# group id or name for autoaccount
group ax25
#
# first user id to use
first_uid 400
#
# maximum user id
max_uid 2000
#
# where to add the home directory for the new user
home /home/ax25
#
# user's shell
shell /bin/bash
#
# bind user id to callsign for outgoing connects.
associate yes

The "associate" option has to be used with great care. If a user logson it removes any existing callsign from the translation table for thisuserid and replaces it with the callsign and SSID of the user. This willhappen with multiple connects (same callsign, different SSIDs), too. Unlessyou want your users to be able to call out from your machine disable"associate".
