HOSTS.CONF(5) Network UPS Tools (NUT) HOSTS.CONF(5)NAMEhosts.conf - Access control for Network UPS Tools CGI pro-
grams
DESCRIPTION
The CGI programs (upsset.cgi(8), upsstats.cgi(8), upsim-
age.cgi(8)) use this file to determine if they are allowed
to talk to a host. This keeps random visitors from using
your web server to annoy others by creating outgoing con-
nections.
DIRECTIVES
MONITOR ups description
The ups element is in the form "[upsname@]host-
name[:port]". To allow connections to a UPS called
"snoopy" on a system called "doghouse" that runs
upsd on port 7877, it would look like this:
MONITOR snoopy@doghouse:7877 "Joe Cool"
The description must be one element, so if it has
spaces, then it must be wrapped with quotes as
shown above.
