NAME

   domain - nnrpd domain resolver

SYNOPSIS

   domain domainname

DESCRIPTION

   This program can be used in readers.conf to grant access based on the
   subdomain part of the remote hostname.  In particular, it only returns
   success if the remote hostname ends in domainname.  (A leading dot on
   domainname is optional; even without it, the argument must match on
   dot-separated boundaries).  The "username" returned is whatever initial
   part of the remote hostname remains after domainname is removed.  It is
   an error if there is no initial part (that is, if the remote hostname
   is exactly the specified domainname).

EXAMPLE

   The following readers.conf(5) fragment grants access to hosts with
   internal domain names:

       auth internal {
           res: "domain .internal"
           default-domain: "example.com"
       }

       access internal {
           users: "*@example.com"
           newsgroups: example.*
       }

   Access is granted to the example.* groups for all connections from
   hosts that resolve to hostnames ending in ".internal"; a connection
   from "foo.internal" would match access groups as "foo@example.com".

BUGS

   It seems the code does not confirm that the matching part is actually
   at the end of the remote hostname (e.g., "domain: example.com" would
   match the remote host "foo.example.com.org" by ignoring the trailing
   ".org" part).

   Does this resolver actually provide any useful functionality not
   available by using wildcards in the readers.conf(5) hosts parameter?
   If so, the example above should reflect this functionality.

Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
