- <term><anchor id="HOSTSALLOW"/>hosts allow (S)</term>
- <listitem><para>A synonym for this parameter is <parameter moreinfo="none">allow
- hosts</parameter>.</para>
-
- <para>This parameter is a comma, space, or tab delimited
- set of hosts which are permitted to access a service.</para>
-
- <para>If specified in the [global] section then it will
- apply to all services, regardless of whether the individual
- service has a different setting.</para>
-
- <para>You can specify the hosts by name or IP number. For
- example, you could restrict access to only the hosts on a
- Class C subnet with something like <command moreinfo="none">allow hosts = 150.203.5.
- </command>. The full syntax of the list is described in the man
- page <filename moreinfo="none">hosts_access(5)</filename>. Note that this man
- page may not be present on your system, so a brief description will
- be given here also.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the localhost address 127.0.0.1 will always
- be allowed access unless specifically denied by a <link linkend="HOSTSDENY"><parameter moreinfo="none">hosts deny</parameter></link> option.</para>
-
- <para>You can also specify hosts by network/netmask pairs and
- by netgroup names if your system supports netgroups. The
- <emphasis>EXCEPT</emphasis> keyword can also be used to limit a
- wildcard list. The following examples may provide some help:</para>
-
- <para>Example 1: allow all IPs in 150.203.*.*; except one</para>
-
- <para><command moreinfo="none">hosts allow = 150.203. EXCEPT 150.203.6.66</command></para>
-
- <para>Example 2: allow hosts that match the given network/netmask</para>
-
- <para><command moreinfo="none">hosts allow = 150.203.15.0/255.255.255.0</command></para>
-
- <para>Example 3: allow a couple of hosts</para>
-
- <para><command moreinfo="none">hosts allow = lapland, arvidsjaur</command></para>
-
- <para>Example 4: allow only hosts in NIS netgroup &quot;foonet&quot;, but
- deny access from one particular host</para>
-
- <para><command moreinfo="none">hosts allow = @foonet</command></para>
-
- <para><command moreinfo="none">hosts deny = pirate</command></para>
-
- <para>Note that access still requires suitable user-level passwords.</para>
-
- <para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>testparm</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a way of testing your host access
- to see if it does what you expect.</para>
-
- <para>Default: <emphasis>none (i.e., all hosts permitted access)
- </emphasis></para>
-
- <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">allow hosts = 150.203.5. myhost.mynet.edu.au
- </command></para>
