Node:gnatsd.host_access, Next:gnatsd.user_access, Previous:Overall gnatsd access level, Up:Access Control
The host access file (by default
/usr/local/etc/gnats/gnatsd.host_access) controls overall
access levels on a per-host basis, meaning that settings in this file
apply across all databases on the server. Entries in this file are in
the following format:
host:access-level:whatever
host is the hostname or IP address of the host contacting
gnatsd. Wildcard characters are supported: * matches anything;
? matches any single character. By using wildcards, you can
specify access levels for entire network subnets and domains.
The second field is the access level of host. The default is
deny. If the user's hostname isn't in the file or its access
level is set to deny, the connection is closed immediately.
GNATS currently doesn't make use of the third field. Remember to
still include the second : on the line if you choose to leave the third
field empty.
Whenever a CHDB command is processed (or defaulted), the user's
access level is set to the level for their host, as determined by the
values in the gnatsd.host_access file. However, even if a host
is given the none access level, an individual can still give the
USER command to possibly gain a higher (but never lower) access
than is set for their host. The gnatsd USER command takes two
arguments: USER <userid> <passwd>.
