screenmode(8)
NAME
  screenmode - Enable or disable gateway screening

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/screenmode [on | off]

DESCRIPTION
  The screenmode command enables or disables gateway screening if the
  argument is on or off, respectively.	See the screen(2) reference page for
  more information on gateway screening.

  When no argument is supplied, screenmode indicates the state of gateway
  screening as on or off.

  In order to avoid packets being forwarded before the screend program has
  been started, screenmode should be run before configuring any interfaces,
  other than the first interface on the system (which might be needed during
  the bootstrap sequence).

  Only the superuser can change the state.

NOTES
  If gateway screening is disabled while screend is running, the daemon might
  exit.

ERRORS
  If an unauthorized user tries to change the state, an error message is
  displayed.
