Dynamic incoming link characteristics
An incoming SLIP link permits the local system to
accept an incoming SLIP connection request from
a remote host using a
getty(M)
process running on the local system.
This type of link requires a login account in
the /etc/passwd file on the local host.
A remote host wishing to initiate a SLIP link with the local
host must use a dynamic outgoing type of link, and must specify this
account name and its associated password in the UUCP Systems
file.
When you use the Network Configuration Manager to configure this type of link, it creates a SLIP login account which uses a special shell script instead of a standard shell. The shell script must execute an slattach command to establish the SLIP link. See ``Adding a SLIP link'' for more details.
You must configure the remote side to use a dynamic outgoing link type for its end of the link. See ``Dynamic outgoing link characteristics'' for details about this type of link.
