Configuring Login Users
7-12 PortMaster Configuration Guide
Setting the Login Service Type
All login users must have an associated login service that determines the nature of their
connection with the host.
The login service specifies how login sessions are established. Four types of login
service are available as described in Table 7-5.
Table 7-5 Types of Login Service
Login Service Function
portmaster PortMaster is the default login service and can be used to
access any host that has the PortMaster in.pmd daemon
installed. This type of login service is preferred because it
makes the PortMaster port operate like a serial port attached
to the host. This service is the most cost-effective in terms of
host resources.
rlogin The remote login service rlogin uses the rlogin protocol to
establish a login session to the specified host. Generally,
rlogin is used on mixed UNIX networks where the
PortMaster login service is impractical to use.
telnet Telnet is supported on most TCP/IP hosts. This login service
should be selected when the PortMaster and rlogin protocols
are not available.
The default port number is 23, but you can enter another
number.
