- configuration file for NIS security

Synopsis

/var/yp/securenets

Description

The /var/yp/securenets file defines the networks or hosts which are allowed access to information by the Network Information Service (“NIS”).

The format of the file is as follows:

Both ypserv(1M) and ypxfrd(1M) use the /var/yp/securenets file. The file is read when the ypserv(1M) and ypxfrd(1M) daemons begin. If /var/yp/securenets is present, ypserv(1M) and ypxfrd(1M) respond only to IP addresses in the range given. In order for a change in the /var/yp/securenets file to take effect, you must kill and restart any active daemons using ypstop(1M) and ypstart(1M).

An important thing to note for all the examples below is that the server must be allowed to access itself. You accomplish this either by the server being part of a subnet that is allowed to access the server, or by adding an individual entry, as the following:

host 127.0.0.1

Examples

Example 1 Giving Access for Individual Machines

If individual machines are to be given access, the entry could be:

255.255.255.255    192.9.1.20

or

host    192.0.1.20

Example 2 Giving Access to an Entire Class C Network

If access is to be given to an entire class C network, the entry could be:

255.255.255.0    192.9.1.0

Example 3 Giving Access to a Class B Network

If access is to be given to a class B network, the entry could be:

255.255.0.0    9.9.0.0

Example 4 Giving Access for an Individual IPv6 Address

To allow access for an individual IPv6 address:

ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff  fec0::111:abba:ace0:fba5e:1

or

host  fec0::111:abba:ace0:fba5e:1

Example 5 Giving Access for all IPv6 Addresses Starting with fe80

To allow access for all IPv6 addresses starting with fe80:

ffff::  fe80::
