rplay.hosts - rplay host authentication database

/usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts

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.

#
# All hosts have read access:
#
*:r

# # Trusted hosts: # nice-guy.sdsu.edu:rwx friend.sdsu.edu:rwx amigo.sdsu.edu:rwx 130.191.224.224:rwx

# # Hosts which can read and execute: # foo.bar.com:rx 130.190.*:rx 146.244.234.*:rx using.default.perms.edu

# # Hosts which can monitor the audio stream # nsa.sdsu.edu:m

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.
