dialups -- System Administration Name every device that may need an additional password /etc/dialups The COHERENT system lets you force classes of users who log in through particular devices to enter an extra password. This helps you protect your system against people who may be try to penetrate it via modem. The file /etc/dialups names every device that may require an additional password. Each device must be named on its own line; for example: /dev/com1l /dev/com3l /dev/com3r When a device is named in /etc/dialups, login looks in file d_passwd to see if a password has been linked to user's default shell. This permits you, for example, to ask for an extra password for all users who attempt to log in remotely and who have an interactive shell, while letting UUCP accounts enter without the extra password. For examples, see the Lexicon entry for d_passwd. See Also Administering COHERENT, d_passwd, login
