The afd.users file

If this file does not exist (or AFD fails to read it) every user may do everything, if he as permission to write to the internal fifo's and database. To restrict access you can enter the users name together with the options he is allowed to use. Here follow some sample entries:

    operator  startup, afd_ctrl, control_transfer, show_slog
    afd       all

The user operator may startup the AFD, he may call afd_ctrl, start/stop a transfer and view the system log, nothing else. Whereas the user afd may do everything. The following table list and describes what permissions are available.
