-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you are trying to restrict connections to only be allowed from the local network, try this in your global section: # Networking configuration options hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. localhost hosts deny = 192.168.1.102 192.168.2.37 It works just like the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. Notice, to allow an entire network, only include the network address and the final dot, but not a zero or anything else. If you want to include a range of IPs, you can do something like this: hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.128 which will simply compare the network and machine address against the netmask you specify.
