NAME

       uronode.conf - URONode configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       uronode.conf  file  is  read  by  URONode  at  program  startup  and is used to modify the
       behaviour of the node. The URONode node.conf is no compatible with the LinuxNode file,  as
       it add new entries: FlexId Prompt and PassPromt.

       The  lines within uronode.conf must either be a comment line, which starts with a # in the
       first column, or one of the commands listed below. Commands and arguments are delimited by
       white space. Arguments can contain white space if they are enclosed in double quotes. Also
       C-style escapes (\n, \x0A, \012 etc.) are parsed within double quotes. Tabs  may  also  be
       used for delimiting columns.

       Available configuration commands are:

       Alias <NAme> “<command> [<args...>]”
                     Sets up a command alias. The number of uppercase characters at the beginning
                     of <NAme> specifies how much  the  user  may  abbreviate  the  command.  The
                     uppercase  part  should  be  long  enough to separate the command from other
                     commands starting with the same letters. If there are no  uppercase  letters
                     in the beginning, the whole name is converted to upper case and user can not
                     abbreviate the command.  The command and arguments are subject to  parameter
                     expansion (see below).

       ConnTimeout <timeout>
                     When  user is connected to another system via this system and the connection
                     is idle (no data flowing in either  direction)  for  <timeout>  seconds  the
                     connection  is  dropped  and  user  disconnected from node.  Default is 3600
                     seconds (1 hour).

       Email     <your@node.ampr.org>
                     This is your amprnet or commercial email address that's displayed  to  users
                     on  interfaces  you require having a password on to access your node, highly
                     suggested on inet interfaces. You may leave off the <>'s. If you do not have
                     an  Email line in node.conf then your email address to users will display as
                     (null) and will make you look sloppy :-)

       EscapeChar <escape>
                     Specifies  the  escape   character.   <escape>   should   be   the   decimal
                     representation  of  the  ASCII code of the wanted escape character.  Setting
                     escape character to -1 disables the feature altogether.  The default  is  20
                     (ctrl-t).

                     Note  that the escape mechanism breaks 8-bit transparency of URONode and you
                     should either disable it or set the no-escape flag  in  node.perms  for  the
                     forwarding stations if (compressed) forward is run trough URONode.

       ExtCmd <NAme> <flags> <uid> <exec> <args...>

                     NAme      This  is the name under which the command appears at nodes command
                               list.  The number of uppercase  characters  at  the  beginning  of
                               <NAme>  specifies  how  much  the user may abbreviate the command.
                               The uppercase part should be long enough to separate  the  command
                               from  other  commands starting with the same letters. If there are
                               no uppercase letters in the beginning, the whole name is converted
                               to upper case and user can not abbreviate the command.

                     flags     This  is  a sum of flags that control the way the external command
                               is executed. Currently two flags are implemented:

                               1    Run command through pipe. Without this flag node just fork()s
                                    and  exec()s  the  specified command and then waits for it to
                                    terminate. The command  must  it  self  be  aware  about  the
                                    underlying  protocol.  It must handle packetising and any end
                                    of line conversions. With this flag however node  sets  up  a
                                    pipe  between it self and the command and handles packetising
                                    and end of line conversions for it.

                               2    Reconnected to flag. If this flag is set,  the  user  gets  a
                                    reconnected to prompt after the external command is finished.

                     uid       This  is  the  userid  that the following command should run under
                               when executing.

                     exec      This is the executable that should be executed.

                     args...   These  are  the  optional  arguments  that  are  passed   to   the
                               executable.  The arguments are subject to parameter expansion (see
                               below).

       HiddenPorts <portname> ...
                     Marks <portname> as hidden. Hidden ports are not shown to  users  in  Links,
                     Mheard, Ports and Routes commands and can not be used to make AX.25 downlink
                     connections unless user is specially permitted to do so (see node.perms(5)).
                     Up to 32 hidden ports can be specified with this command.

       HostName <hostname>
                     This  is  the visible hostname of the node. It will be shown at telnet login
                     and in the node welcome message.

       IdleTimeout <timeout>
                     After <timeout> seconds of inactivity while waiting for a  command  user  is
                     disconnected from node. Default is 900 seconds (15 mins).

       LocalNet <network>
                     Defines  a  "local"  network. Users telneting from hosts in this network are
                     treated separately (see  node.perms(5)).  <network>  is  a  KA9Q  NOS  style
                     network  address consisting of a dotted quad ip address of the network and a
                     number of significant bits separated  by  a  slash.  Note  that  127.0.0.0/8
                     (loopback net) is also considered "local" by default.

       LogLevel <loglevel>
                     Specifies what node should log. The available levels are:

                     0    Don't log anything.

                     1    Log only critical errors.

                     2    Log errors and logins/logouts.

                     3    Log errors, logins/logouts and all gateway commands.

                     Default is to log only critical errors.

       NodeId <nodeid>
                     This  is  the  node  id that is shown in every message from node. Default is
                     "URONode".

       FlexID <flexid>
                     This is typically your ax25 callsign-ssid that links to  flexnet  and/or  to
                     your user interface set by the sysop in ax25d.conf.

       RoseID <rosecall@dnic,######>
                     This  is  your  node's  rosecall-ssid  and  your  full dnic number typically
                     consisting of your country code, area code, and phone extension. An  example
                     is:  3100,860906.  The  full  string would be for this part of the conf file
                     using my config: RoseID n1uro-8@3100860906 or if you do not use rose  enter:
                     RoseID none

       NrPort <portname>
                     This is the name of the netrom port that is used when making outgoing netrom
                     connects. Normally it should match the portname that is used  in  ax25d.conf
                     to listen for incoming netrom calls. Default is the first netrom port.

       ReConnect on|off
                     ReConnect  flag.  If  this  is  on,  users  gatewaying  to  another host get
                     reconnected to this node after the remote host closes connection.   If  it's
                     off  connection  to  the  user  will  also  be closed. User can override the
                     default behaviour with a single `s' or `d' at  the  end  of  the  gatewaying
                     command (connect or telnet). Default is off.

       Prompt <NodePrompt>
                     This is the prompt string of the node. It's delimited by double quotes.  You
                     can use also a "\n" character for a multi-lines prompt.

       PassPrompt <PasswordPrompt>
                     This is the prompt string for sysop password  request.   It's  delimited  by
                     double quotes. You can use also a "\n" character for a multi-lines prompt.

PARAMETER EXPANSION

       The  arguments  passed to the real command by the Alias and ExtCmd commands are subject to
       parameter expansion. If a word starts with a %, it is expanded. The following formats  are
       expanded:

       %parameter    This is substituted with the value of parameter

       %{parameter}  The same as above.

       %{parameter:default}
                     If  parameter  is  defined this is susbtituted with the value of it. If not,
                     the default value is substituted. This currently applies only to  positional
                     parameters 0...9.

       The following parameters are defined:

       0...9   The positional parameters.

       U       The username (callsign) of the remote station in upper case without the SSID.

       u       The username (callsign) of the remote station in lower case without the SSID.

       S       The username (callsign) of the remote station in upper case with the SSID.

       s       The username (callsign) of the remote station in lower case with the SSID.

       P       The  nodename (callsign) of the remote station (NET/ROM), the portname the user is
               coming in via (AX.25) or the ip address of the remote host (TCP).  In  upper  case
               without the SSID.

       p       The  nodename (callsign) of the remote station (NET/ROM), the portname the user is
               coming in via (AX.25) or the ip address of the remote host (TCP).  In  lower  case
               without the SSID.

       R       The  nodename (callsign) of the remote station (NET/ROM), the portname the user is
               coming in via (AX.25) or the ip address of the remote host (TCP).  In  upper  case
               with the SSID.

       r       The  nodename (callsign) of the remote station (NET/ROM), the portname the user is
               coming in via (AX.25) or the ip address of the remote host (TCP).  In  lower  case
               with the SSID.

       t       The type of the user connection (ax25, netrom, rose, inet, host) in lower case.

       T       The type of the user connection (ax25, netrom, rose, inet, host) in upper case.

       Anything else after a % is substituted with a %.
