2. The dialog

A check box lets you activate logging. If activated, linuxconf will add a line to /var/log/htmlaccess.log each time there is an http request.

The rest of the dialog goes like this. You must specify pairs. You specify a host or a network and optionally a netmask. Your options in specifying a host or network are

A default netmask is computed based on the type of the first entry (Is it a host or network). You can override this by supplying the optional netmask. Also, it is possible to specify a host name with a wider netmask, allowing access by all hosts on this host's network.

Some examples:

        machine1.foo.com
        (empty netmask imply 255.255.255.255)
        10.1.2.0
        255.255.255.0
        eth0
        (empty netmask grab the current one for eth0)
        

The first pair allows one machine. The second and third allow complete networks.
