| 2 | Definition of hosts in WIMS can be made either through host name or IP |
||
| 3 | number. But we highly recommend that you use IP numbers whenever possible. |
||
| 4 | Host names are not as secure. |
||
| 5 | <p> |
||
| 6 | You can also define global host names in the usual way: <tt>127.0.0.</tt> |
||
| 7 | (but not <tt>127.0.0</tt>) |
||
| 8 | matches 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.255, and <tt>.unice.fr</tt> |
||
| 9 | (but not <tt>unice.fr</tt>) matches any host in the domain <em>unice.fr</em>. |
||
| 10 | You can also make several host definitions, by separating definitions |
||
| 11 | by white spaces. |
||
| 12 | <p> |
||
| 13 | Finaly, the word <tt>all</tt> matches every host in the world. This is hugely |
||
| 14 | insecure, but if you choose it, that is your problem. |
