<P>The <VAR>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</VAR> file contains
configuration <I>directives</I> that control how the server
functions. Each directive is listed on a line by itself followed
by its value. Comments are introduced using the number sign ("#")
character at the beginning of a line.</P>
<P>Since the server configuration file consists of plain text,
you can use your favorite text editor to make changes to it.
After making any changes, restart the <CODE>cupsd(8)</CODE>
process using the startup script for your operating system:</P>
<UL>
<LI>AIX, IRIX, Linux, Solaris:

<P>The <CODE>ServerAlias</CODE> directive is used for HTTP Host header
validation when clients connect to the scheduler from external interfaces.
Using the special name "*" can expose your system to known browser-based
DNS rebinding attacks, even when accessing sites through a firewall. If the
auto-discovery of alternate names does not work, we recommend listing each
alternate name with a ServerAlias directive instead of using "*".</P>
