HOSTS.CONF(5)			  NUT Manual			 HOSTS.CONF(5)

NAME
       hosts.conf - Access control for Network UPS Tools CGI programs

DESCRIPTION
       The CGI programs (upsset.cgi(8), upsstats.cgi(8), upsimage.cgi(8)) use
       this file to determine if they are allowed to talk to a host. This
       keeps random visitors from using your web server to annoy others by
       creating outgoing connections.

DIRECTIVES
       MONITOR ups description
	   The ups element is in the form upsname[@hostname[:port]]. To allow
	   connections to a UPS called "snoopy" on a system called "doghouse"
	   that runs upsd on port 7877, it would look like this:

	       MONITOR snoopy@doghouse:7877 "Joe Cool"

	   The description must be one element, so if it has spaces, then it
	   must be wrapped with quotes as shown above. The default hostname is
	   "localhost".

SEE ALSO
       upsset.cgi(8), upsstats.cgi(8), upsimage.cgi(8)
