NAME
       /etc/decnet.proxy - DECnet proxy file

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/decnet.proxy  is  an  ASCII file which contains mappings of remote
       DECnet users to local users. It is used by fal(8) when no username  and
       password	 have  been  explicitly	 given	to determine whether a user is
       allowed to access files and also whose files they will get access to.

       There is one entry per line, and each line has the following format:

	      node::remoteuser localuser

       The field descriptions are:

	      node	The name or number of the remote node. If  this	 is  a
			name it must appear in decnet.conf(5) otherwise a DEC‐
			net node address should be used. This field is a regu‐
			lar expression: If you want to match a single nodename
			then you must use the anchors ^ and $ either  side  of
			the name.

	      remoteuser
			a regular expression that may match one or more remote
			user names. If you want to match a  single  user  then
			you  must  use	the anchors ^ and $ either side of the
			name.

	      localuser The name of a user on the local machine	 or  a	single
			asterisk (*) in which case the remote username will be
			substituted.

	      Comments start with a hash mark and continue to the end of  that
	      line. They may be on a dedicated line or following an entry.

EXAMPLE
	  #/etc/decnet.proxy
	  # proxy configuration for fal.
	  #
	  ^tramp$::^test$ christine  # Explicitly convert 'test' on tramp to 'christine'
	  ^zaphod$::.*	  none	   # Disable proxies from zaphod (assuming you don't
				   #   have a user called 'none')
	  .*::.* decnet		   # Like a default DECnet account
	  .*::.* *		   # Equivalent to VMS *::* * proxy (make this last
				   #   if you use it)
