Configuring Local Services in the Terminal Host Chooser

The Terminal Host Chooser provides easy access to the Local File Manager daemon (filed), Diagnostic daemon(diagd), and Configuration daemon (configd).

The showLocal resource must be set to "true" (the default) for these services to be listed automatically in the Terminal Host Chooser. The user can select Show Local from the Chooser's View menu to control the display locally.

To access the Local File Manager and Configuration daemon through the Terminal Host Chooser, you must first set their passwords in the Console (Setup -> Change Setup Parameters -> Access Control). If you do not set a password and select one of these local services in the Terminal Host Chooser, the terminal emulator window appears briefly, displays an "access denied" message, then disappears.

The resources listed in Table 12-1 control the automatic display of services in the Terminal Host Chooser. Users can select the corresponding View menu item to control the display of services locally.
