NAME

       rplay.hosts - rplay host authentication database

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts

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.

EXAMPLE

       #
       # 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

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.
