nnrpd: file to specify hosts to be tracked by nnrpd.

NAME

nnrpd.track - file to specify hosts to be tracked by nnrpd.

DESCRIPTION

This file, which is located in <pathetc in inn.conf>, specifies which hosts are to have their activities recorded during an nnrpd session. The nnrpd server reads it when first spawned by innd, provided readertrack in inn.conf is true; otherwise this file is not used.

Entries consist of one host specification per line, each line having two fields, separated by a colon:

host:identity

The first field is either the FQDN of a host, or a domain name (in the form *.domain.com).

The second field is simply a segment of text which may be used to more easily identify the client, typically an e-mail address or other identifying mark.

For example:

nasty.foo.com:nasty [at] foo.com
*.bar.com:VeryNastyClient
