# ============================================================================ # .maphosts - # ============================================================================ # This file is used to control whether other computers can access User Name # Mapping. By adding elements (each on a separate line), you can grant or deny # any computer access to User Name Mapping. If this file is empty, then no # computer, except the computer running User Name Mapping itself can access # User Name Mapping. If this file is removed then no computer (including the # computer running User Name Mapping) will be able to access User Name # Mapping. When matching a computer making a request against the elements in # the list, User Name Mapping searches from the top down until it finds a # match. Consequently, order is essential. # Element Description # ------- -------------------------------------------------------------- # Specifies one or more computers that can access User Name # Mapping. The host can be specified as an Internet Protocol # (IP) address (IP version 4), or as a host name that resolves # to one or more IP addresses. # # - Specifies one or more computers that are denied access to # User Name Mapping. The host can be specified as an IP # address (IP version 4), or as a host name that resolves to # one or more IP addresses. Note that there must be at least # one blank space between and the dash (-). # # + When used alone, specifies that all computers can access User # Name Mapping unless disallowed by an earlier entry in the list. # All entries in the list following this element are ignored. # # - When used alone, specifies that all computers are disallowed # access to User Name Mapping unless allowed by an earlier entry in # the list. All entries in the list following this element are # ignored. # The # character can be used to add comments to the file; everything on a # line following the # character is ignored. # For additional details, search for "Controlling access to User Name Mapping" # in Microsoft Services for Network File System Help. # Place the list of allowed and disallowed computers here:
