                     25: .I Dm.conf
                     26: is the configuration file for the
                     27: .IR dm (8)
                     28: program.
                     29: It consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords, ``badtty'',
                     30: ``game'', and ``time''.  All other lines are ignored.
                     31: .PP
                     32: Any tty listed after the keyword ``badtty'' may not have games played on
                     33: it.  Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string
                     34: ``badtty'' and the ttyname as returned by \fIttyname\fP(3).  For example,
                     35: to keep the uucp dialout, ``tty19'', from being used for games, the
                     36: entry would be:
                     37: .PP
                     38: .RS
                     39: badtty /dev/tty19
                     40: .RE
                     41: .PP
                     42: Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword ``time'' will disallow
                     43: games during those hours.  Entries consist of four white-space separated
                     44: fields: the string ``time'', the unabbreviated day of the week and the
                     45: beginning and ending time of a period of the day when games may not be
                     46: played.  The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock.  For example,
                     47: the following entry allows games playing before 8AM and after 5PM on
                     48: Mondays.
                     49: .PP
                     50: .RS
                     51: time           Monday  8       17

                     53: .PP
                     54: Any game listed after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a specific
                     55: game.  Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword
                     56: ``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the
                     57: game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be played,
                     58: and the priority at which the game is to be run.  Any of these fields may
                     59: start with a non-numeric character, resulting in no game limitation or
                     60: priority based on that field.  The game "default" controls the settings for
                     61: any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last ``game'' entry in the
                     62: file.  Priorities may not be negative.  For example, the following entries
                     63: limits the game ``hack'' to running only when the system has 10 or less
                     64: users and a load average of 5 or less; all other games may be run any time
                     65: the system has 15 or less users.
