HOSTS.CONF(5)
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
hosts.conf - Access control for Network UPS Tools CGI programs
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The CGI programs (linkman:upsset.cgi[8], linkman:upsstats.cgi[8],
|
|
linkman:upsimage.cgi[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.
|
|
|
|
DIRECTIVES
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
*MONITOR* 'ups' 'description'::
|
|
|
|
The 'ups' 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".
