Here is an interesting one that has been broken since AOLserver 4.0.
In hosts.allow, you can use either a full or partial hostname, or
ipaddr/netmask. Not all work.
192.168.0.10/255.255.255.255 <- Gives error "Invalid address or
hostname "192.168.0.10". should be ipaddr/netmask or hostname"
192.168.0.10/255.255.255.0 <- This fixes the above -BUT- it allows in
the whole class C, which may not really be what is wanted.
bob.someserver.com <- this works (though haven't looked deep enough
to see if it does sanity check on forward + reverse lookup to
guarantee it is really the right host)
The error is caused by inet_addr() returning INADDR_NONE on
255.255.255.255 . Using inet_aton() resolves this issue. A patch to
nsperm.c at around line #739 follows:
*slash = '\0';
if (inet_aton(net, &ip) == 0 || inet_aton(slash+1, &mask) == 0) {
Tcl_AppendResult(interp, "invalid address or hostname \"",
net, "\". " "should be ipaddr/netmask
or hostname", NULL);
goto fail;
}
