man axspawn.conf (Formats) - Control the operation of axspawn.

NAME

axspawn.conf - Control the operation of axspawn.

DESCRIPTION

The axspawn.conf file controls the operation of the axspawn(8) program. The operation of the config 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 logs on it removes any existing callsign from the translation table for this userid and replaces it with the callsign and SSID of the user. This will happen with multiple connects (same callsign, different SSIDs), too. Unless you want your users to be able to call out from your machine disable associate.
