parameter is one of the BNU configurable parameters and value is the global value to be assigned to that parameter.
No white space is allowed within an individual parameter declaration. Comment lines begin with a hash sign (#) and occupy the entire line up to a newline character. Blank lines are ignored.
The following parameters can be specified in the Config file:
The declaration AUTH=yes
or AUTH=req
specifies that remote command requests will not be accepted
without authentication.
When authenticated requests are executed,
they are executed under the
mapped ID of the originator and all commands are allowed;
that is, the value of the COMMANDS parameter
in the Permissions file is ignored.
The declaration AUTH=opt
or AUTH=no
specifies that authentication is not required for remote command execution.
Note that, if authentication is attempted but fails,
the request is rejected, regardless of the value
of AUTH.
If the AUTH parameter is not included in the Config file,
AUTH defaults to optional (AUTH=opt
or AUTH=no
).
At present,
cr1(1Mbnu)
is the only key management facility available to BNU.
There is no default key management facility.
To specify the cr1 key management facility,
the declaration KEYS=cr1
must be created in the Config file.
Valid protocol values are:
Two parameters are provided for the g protocol: windows and packetsize. windows indicates the number of packets that may be transmitted without waiting for an acknowledgement from the remote host. packetsize indicates the number of data bytes in each packet. By default, windows is set to 7 packets and packetsize is set to 64 bytes.
When properly configured, performance can be significantly better using the G protocol rather than the g protocol. With the G protocol, windows may range from 1 to 7, and packetsize may range from 32 to 4096 bytes, in powers of two (that is, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096).
There are no parameters to be tuned within the e protocol.
There are no parameters to be tuned within the d protocol.
By default, Protocol is set to ``g(7,64)G(7,64)ed''. To change the protocol ordering to, for example, ``Gged'' and change the G protocol defaults to 7 windows and 512-byte packets, include the following entry in the Config file:
Protocol=G(7,512)ged
