Sort of. *nix /etc/hosts works primarily as a name resolver for non DNS local networks. /etc/hosts.deny sets the base policy for access to your localhost; usually All: All, as in deny everyone. /etc/hosts.allow sets exceptions to the base policy, e.g. if you want everyone in your LAN to have access to your computer you'd make the entry: All : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. Season to taste. While the listed bypasses will work, that is not really the intent of the /etc/hosts file and may serve to slow down other surfing since hosts is the first file looked at in domain name resolution. -- -Rinaldi- Boob's Law: You always find something in the last place you look. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
