Per-service configuration files

Per-service configuration files allow the user to customize the environment for a specific service. For example, a service may require special privileges that are not available to the general user. Using the language described in the doconfig(3iac) manual page, the programmer can write a script that will grant or limit such special privileges to a particular service offered through a particular port monitor.

The per-service configuration may override defaults provided by higher-level configuration scripts. For example, the per-service configuration script may specify a set of STREAMS modules other than the default set.
