.TH HOSTS.CONF 5 "Mon Jan 22 2007" "" "Network UPS Tools (NUT)"
|

|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
hosts.conf \- Access control for Network UPS Tools CGI programs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CGI programs (\fBupsset.cgi\fR(8), \fBupsstats.cgi\fR(8),
|
||
|
|
\fBupsimage.cgi(8)\fR) use this file to determine if they are allowed to
|
||
|
|
talk to a host. This keeps random visitors from using your web server
|
||
|
|
to annoy others by creating outgoing connections.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DIRECTIVES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.IP "MONITOR \fIups\fR \fIdescription\fR"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The \fIups\fR element is in the form "upsname[@hostname[:port]]".
|
||
|
|
To allow connections to a UPS called "snoopy" on a system called
|
||
|
|
"doghouse" that runs upsd on port 7877, it would look like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MONITOR snoopy@doghouse:7877 "Joe Cool"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The description must be one element, so if it has spaces, then it must
|
||
|
|
be wrapped with quotes as shown above. The default hostname is
|
||
|
|
"localhost".

||
