.SH "NAME"
|
|
hosts.conf \- Access control for Network UPS Tools CGI programs
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The CGI programs (\fBupsset.cgi\fR(8), \fBupsstats.cgi\fR(8), \fBupsimage.cgi\fR(8)) 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"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBMONITOR\fR \fIups\fR \fIdescription\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
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:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
MONITOR snoopy@doghouse:7877 "Joe Cool"
|
|
.fi
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.sp
|
|
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"\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
.sp
