Name

dgated − Provide daemon login service via Decnet

Syntax

/etc/dgated host

Description

The /etc/dgated daemon is spawned by dgate() on the gateway system (the intermediate ULTRIX DECnet host).

The program maintains the ownership of the master end of a pseudo terminal, operating as an intermediary between the DECnet login process and the client instantiation of the dgate process.

The dgated daemon also writes a utmp entry to record activity.
