# This is an example of an access control file to be used by ypserv.
#
# This file is parsed line by line. First match will terminate the check
# of the caller.

# This is the commands that will match a single host
#
#	allow host <hostname|ip-address>
#	deny host <hostname|ip-address>
#
# To process hostname gethostbyname is called. If the hostname has multiple
# ip-addresses all will be added (I hope). ip-address is processed by
# inet_aton.
allow host localhost
deny host jodie

# This is the commands that will match a network
#
#	allow net <netname|netnumber> [netmask <netname|netnumber>]
#	deny net <netname|netnumber> [netmask <netname|netnumber>]
#
# To process netname getnetbyname is called, and inet_aton is used for
# netnumber. inet_aton both access numbers as 255.255.255.0 and 0xffffff00.
#
# If netmask isn't given the parser will assume netmask from the first bits
# of the network number. So if the network is subneted the you have to add
# the netmask. In my case I've got the network 139.58.253.0 at home so too
# allow any of my computers to talk with the server I need the following line
#
allow net mojathome netmask 255.255.255.0

#############################################################################
# At last we have a command that will match any caller:
#
#	allow all 
#	deny all
#

# reject all connections
deny all
