Creating Services Server Configuration
4 - 6
4.6.1 Creating a Simple Service (Such As a Line Printer)
Figure 4-12 shows the command needed to create a service called dump_port on the parallel port.
Connections, queueing, banner, and formfeed options are enabled by default when you enter a Set
Service command, so it is not necessary to configure them explicitly. NetWare, and RTEL access
are provided by default, but LAT and AppleTalk access have to be explicitly enabled.
Figure 4-12: Set Service Command
Enter the Show Services commands to verify the service was created and usable. You should see
something like the following:
Figure 4-13: Show Service Command
Note that the service rating is non-zero, indicating that the service is available for connections. If
the service rating were zero, the service would not be available. This can happen if connections are
disabled, or if the service/port is in use by someone else. The Show Port All command is useful for
finding out why a service is unavailable, as it shows port login statuses, and the services currently
being offered.
4.6.2 Setting Up a Service With Group Codes
Local ports can be given a list of LAT service groups that they are authorized to use. The access list
will deny the ports access to services that do not belong to any matching authorized groups. For
example, you may wish to limit connections to a printer or to a certain set of ports on a server. To
start up a printer service and ports with group list access, you could enter the following com-
