| 3 | .SH NAME |
|---|
| 4 | access_on, access_off \- allow or prevent remote |
|---|
| 5 | connections to workstations |
|---|
| 6 | .SH SYNOPSIS |

| 8 | .br |

| 10 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 11 | The |
|---|
| 12 | .I access_on |
|---|
| 13 | and |
|---|
| 14 | .I access_off |
|---|
| 15 | utilities control remote connections to Athena workstations. |
|---|
| 16 | The workstation's |
|---|
| 17 | .I reactivate |
|---|
| 18 | process uses the |
|---|
| 19 | .I access_off |
|---|
| 20 | program to prevent the workstation's |
|---|
| 21 | .I inetd |
|---|
| 22 | daemon from accepting |
|---|
| 23 | network remote connections. |
|---|
| 24 | In other words, |
|---|
| 25 | no one can access the workstation with commands |
|---|
| 26 | like |
|---|
| 27 | .I rlogin, |
|---|
| 28 | .I rcp, |
|---|
| 29 | .I ftp, |
|---|
| 30 | and |
|---|
| 31 | .I telnet. |
|---|
| 32 | This protects the user from unexpected and possibly hostile remote connections. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Of course the user may wish to allow remote connections. |
|---|
| 35 | The |
|---|
| 36 | .I access_on |
|---|
| 37 | command performs this function. |
|---|
| 38 | Use |
|---|
| 39 | .I access_off |
|---|
| 40 | to prevent connections again. |
|---|
| 41 | |
