|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In util.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn ttyaction "char *ttyname" "char *action" "char *username"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyaction
|
|
function is used by
|
|
.Xr login 1 ,
|
|
.Xr getty 8 ,
|
|
.Xr telnetd 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr rlogind 8
|
|
to execute site-specific commands
|
|
when a login session begins and ends.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ttyaction
|
|
function scans the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttyaction
|
|
file for any records that match the current
|
|
.Fa ttyname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa action
|
|
parameters, and for each matching record,
|
|
runs the shell command shown in that record.
|
|
The record format is described in
|
|
.Xr ttyaction 5 .
|
|
The parameter
|
|
.Fa username
|
|
is the name of the new owner of the
|
|
.Fa ttyname
|
|
device.
|
|
Note that the
|
|
.Fa ttyname
|
|
parameter may be passed as a fully qualified pathname, and the
|
|
.Fn ttyaction
|
|
function will skip the leading "/dev/" part of the string.
|
|
(This is a convenience for login and getty.)
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn ttyaction
|
|
returns the status of the last command it executed,
|
|
or zero if no matching commands were found.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
There should be some
|
|
.Em other
|
|
mechanism to allow selection of different access control policies
|
|
on a per-line basis.
|
|
It has been suggested that the same
|
|
.Fn ttyaction
|
|
mechanism should also be used for determining access control, but
|
|
it was decided (after much discussion) that
|
|
.Fn ttyaction
|
|
should only describe actions to be performed
|
|
.Em after
|
|
the system has decided to change the ownership of some tty.
|
|
Access control policies will be handled by a separate mechanism.
