devassign(4)devassign(4)NAMEdevassign - device assignment database file for a trusted system
SYNOPSISDESCRIPTION
The system supports a single device assignment database that contains
entries for local login terminals.
The format of the terminal control database file is identical to other
trusted system authentication database files. For more information on
the file format, see authcap(4). The file consists of keyword field
identifiers and values for those fields. The keyword identifiers sup‐
ported and their use include:
This field specifies a comma separated list of aliases that refer to
the same
device defined by the entry. Use of this field avoids
the need to replicate device assignment database entries
for all device aliases.
This field specifies the device that is described by the entry.
Device types supported include:
The device is assigned as a local login terminal
device.
This field, if specified, contains a comma separated list of user names
that
are permitted to use the device for login or the
import/export of data. If the list is not present, all
users are permitted to use the device. If the list is
present, it is searched for a match by the login program
to determine if the user is permitted to use the device.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a device assignment database entry for a
terminal device assigned as a login device:
