How the PortMaster Works 2-5
Port Status and Configuration
Access can also be denied if the specified login service is unavailable—for example, if the
PortMaster Login Service has been selected for the user but the selected host does not
have the
in.pmd PortMaster daemon installed. Access is denied with the “Host Is
Currently Unavailable” message if the host is down or otherwise not responding to the
login request.
If an access filter is configured on the port and the login host for the user is not
permitted by the access filter, the PortMaster refuses service with an “Access Denied”
message. If the access override parameter is set on the port, the PortMaster instructs the
user to authenticate himself, even though the default access filter is set to deny access.

default configuration of each port:
