Autoacts -- autodetection of incoming call type

Synopsis

/etc/ics/Autoacts

Description

The /etc/ics/Autoacts file contains a list of incoming byte sequences to detect, and an associated service to invoke if that sequence is matched. This detection is performed by the port monitor before the login banner or anything else is sent to the output stream. The current use of this file is to provide auto-detection of PPP.

Autoacts contains the following fields in the order shown:

``ID'': A label to identify the service and byte sequence. At present, this is not used.
``Service'': The service to be invoked upon matching the incoming byte sequence.
``Args'': A list of arguments to be supplied to the service.
``Char-seq'': The sequence of bytes that identifies the service.
