[comp.sys.apollo] How to have proxy's and non-proxy's simultaneously enabled with TECHNET

MACALLSTR@vax1.physics.oxford.ac.UK (03/21/90)

Does anyone know how to enable proxy logins for some users and also 
 allow other users to login normally? So far I've only be able to have one
 or the other because it appears that TECHNET always tries to use the proxy
 database if it exists.
TECHNET allows logins from DEC systems using DECnet. I'm new to APOLLO systems
 so I apologise in advance if the solution is obvious.
Thanks,
 John

        TECHnet will use a proxy.db if it exists.  You can get very specific
        with who you let log on, and who you don't, via parameters in that file.

        /etc/technet/database/proxy.db

        I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "non-proxy"  If you have
        any further questions on the proxy database, you may e-mail me 
        directly.

        Cheers,
