# This is an example of an access control file to be used by ypserv. # # This file is parsed line by line. First match will terminate the check # of the caller. # ############################################################################# # This is the commands that will match a single host # # allow host # deny host # # To process hostname gethostbyname is called. If the hostname has multiple # ip-addresses all will be added (I hope). ip-address is processed by # inet_aton. allow host localhost deny host jodie ############################################################################# # This is the commands that will match a network # # allow net [netmask ] # deny net [netmask ] # # To process netname getnetbyname is called, and inet_aton is used for # netnumber. inet_aton both access numbers as 255.255.255.0 and 0xffffff00. # # If netmask isn't given the parser will assume netmask from the first bits # of the network number. So if the network is subneted the you have to add # the netmask. In my case I've got the network 139.58.253.0 at home so too # allow any of my computers to talk with the server I need the following line # allow net mojathome netmask 255.255.255.0 ############################################################################# # At last we have a command that will match any caller: # # allow all # deny all # # reject all connections deny all
