rplay.hosts - rplay host authentication database

Bugs

The permissions for an "*" entry apply to all matching hosts. The order of this file does not matter. Specific hosts can have access disabled with entries like: bad.guy.edu: however, any matching "*" entries will still apply. 12/21/97 RPLAY.HOSTS(5)

Description

The rplay.hosts file contains a list of hosts and access permissions which rplayd uses to validate incoming connections. Each line is of the form: hostname[:permission] where hostname is the name of a remote host or a host's IP address. Wildcards can be used within IP addresses to match multiple hosts. The wildcard character is "*". permission is an optional field containing any combination of the following characters: r the host can read sounds. w the host can write sounds. x the host can play, stop, pause, and continue sounds. This is normally called execute permission. m the host can monitor the audio stream written by rplayd to the audio device. "rx" permissions are used when no permissions are specified.
