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.
