Changi NNTP Server 1.0

nntp_access

This file is used by the server to determine host access permissions. By default, Changi tries to read the file from CHANGIWORKDIR, unless otherwise specified by option -a or CHANGIHOSTACCESSFILE. If the server couldn't locate the file, any access is granted to the local host only, either through ip 127.0.0.1, the name specified by CHANGIHOSTNAME or the explicit name localhost.

The file consists of one or more lines with three or four fields separated by spaces. Any line with character # in the first column is interpreted as a comment line and ignored. All other lines must follow this general format:

hostname|ip read|xfer|both|no post[/nopost]|no [grouplist]
