NAME

     securenet - ypserv(8) configuration file for secure networks


DESCRIPTION

     The securenet file controls which hosts can connect to the YP server.

     The format is rather simple. Each row consists of two items. The first
     item is the network mask. The second item is the network.


EXAMPLES

     A configuration file might appear as follows:

     #
     # Only my local net is secure.
     #
     255.255.255.0 139.58.253.0


FILES

HISTORY

     for weak security.
