Node.perms file is read at program startup with the knowledge of users username
(call), connection type (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE, TCP/IP), peers IP address
(for TCP/IP) and port name (for AX.25). The first entry matching this
information is taken and user is asked for password and given permissions
according to it.
The lines within
node.perms must either be a comment line, which starts with a # in the first column, or
a permission entry in the following format, each field being delimited by
white space:
