/etc/isdn/isdnlog.users - user base isdnlog config file


DESCRIPTION

       This  file  is  only needed if isdnlog is started with the
       "-xX" / "xisdn=" option. If  this  file  does  not  exist,
       isdnlog  will  create  a default file and print a warning.
       This file contains information about which users are  per­
       mitted  to  use isdnlog clients, and what their privileges
       are.  This file is checked  every  time  a  connection  to
       isdnlog  is  made;  thus, it is possible to edit this file
       and have the changes effective immediately without  having
       to stop and start isdnlog.

       For  now  there are no real usable clients for isdnlog, so
       this file isn't very useful at the moment.


FORMAT

       Warning: the format of this file may change in the future.

       Blank  lines  are  ignored. If a line has a "#", this char
       and the rest of the line is ignored  as  comment.  If  the
       last char of a line is a " line and the next line are con­
       sidered one line.  These characters  are  considered  spe­
       cial: "$@#,;

       The file consists of lines; each line begins with the name
       of a user.  After the user's name the privileges given  to
       this  user are specified (on the same line). The following
       privileges are possible, separated by semicolons ";" :

       ALL All of the privileges below are given. Should only  be
           given to root.

       MSN=msn[,msn...]
           Only information about events concerning the specified
           msns is given.  This includes  incoming  and  outgoing
           calls,  and  protocol information.  Any number of msns
           may be given. Wildcards (such as  used  in  isdn.conf)
           are permitted. With "MSN=*" all msns are allowed.
           Unknown  numbers  (e.g. from outgoing calls from other
           isdn devices or incoming  calls  from  analog  connec­
           tions) cannot be specified with MSN=.  The only way to
           allow these calls to be seen is by giving "MSN=*".

       PROTOCOL
           The information specified to isdnlog by the  -xX  flag
           (see isdnlog(8)) is allowed.

       I4LCONF (planned)
           This gives permission to change isdn4linux properties.
           This should only be allowed to root.

           This makes it possible to retrieve / store information
           about a caller or called number.

       Users
       At  the  beginning  of  the file it is possible to specify
       users with hostnames:

           fred@vom.jupiter MSN=4711?
           root@host1.at.home ALL

       Here the user "fred" can only connect to isdnlog from  the
       host  "vom.jupiter".   Similarly,  the user "root" is only
       allowed when on host "host1.at.home".

       Groups
       After the lines with hostnames, it is possible  to  define
       groups  of  users and hostnames. A group looks like a sec­
       tion as described in isdn.conf(5). It begins with  a  line
       such as:

           [My_Group]

       and  ends  with the beginning of the next group or the end
       of the file.  Group names are not case sensitive. In fact,
       group names are not actually used (except for [world], see
       below).

       In a group, lines consist of a  username  or  a  hostname.
       Lines  with  a username must also contain those privileges
       that the user has.  No privileges can  be  listed  with  a
       hostname.

           heinz MSN=*;PROTOCOL
           @host1
           @host2
           otto MSN=47111,47112
           @host3

       The  above example allows the users heinz and otto to con­
       nect from any of the hosts host1,  host2  and  host3.  The
       user  heinz  can see information about all msns, user otto
       can only see information about msns 47111 and 47112.

       If anyone is allowed to do anything, then it is enough  to
       put only the following line into the file "isdnlog.users":

           [world]
