Configuring a Telserv Direct Service
Configuring a Telserv Direct Service
A Telserv process can be configured to provide login either directly to the OSS shell or 
directly to the command interpreter code of any executable program accessible 
through the OSS file system.
Logging In to the Shell Directly
The services feature of Telserv provides OSS users with the ability to log in directly to 
the OSS shell, bypassing the TACL prompt.
The services feature is configured through the ADD SERVICE command in the Telserv 
SCF product module. This command is described in the Telserv Manual.
Figure 7-2 shows what a Telserv login looks like when you use the services feature to 
provide direct login to the OSS shell.
In this example, the OSS service allows the user to log in directly to the OSS 
environment. The following SCF command example shows how this service was 
configured:
ADD SERVICE $ZTNT.OSS, TYPE CONVERSATION, PRI 150, &
 SWAP $DATA1, CPU 2, PROGRAM $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.OSH, &
 SUBTYPE DYNAMIC, ACCESS SYSTEM
Considerations:
•
Specify the SCF ADD SERVICE command with ACCESS set to SYSTEM. This 
access requires users to be prompted for login authorization, as shown in 
Figure 7-2.
•
Do not specify a PARAM value or OWNER value in the ADD SERVICE command. 
The default value used by the OSH program when the PARAM option does not 
appear places the user in the OSS shell (/bin/sh).
•
As shown in Figure 7-2 on page 7-3, the service name OSS is displayed on the 
screen. You can suppress this display by using the DISPLAY OFF option of the 
ADD SERVICE command.
Use this option if you do not want availability of the service known to all users.
