DIPC.ALLOW(5)

NAME
dipc.allow - DIPC access control file

DESCRIPTION
 This file, located in the /etc directory, is read by the referee (one of dipcd's processes) on start-up, and lists the address of computers which are allowed to take part in a DIPC cluster. The computers named in the file don't have to actually be in the cluster, but they can do so, if they ever want to. This file should also contain the address of the referee computer itself.
 These addresses can be in the number-dot (e.g 194.165.8.3) or symbolic (e.g. sun.iust.ac.ir) formats. Using symbolic names may lead to some delay in dipcd's start-up, as it tries to resolve these addresses.
 There should be one address per line. The '#' symbol can be used as the start of a comment.
 When a SIGHUP signal is encountered, the contents of this file will be re-read. This could be used to change the set of trusted computers on the fly. Important Note: The /etc/dipc.allow file should be present in the referee computer. Its existence in non-referee computers is needed only when the -s (secure) option is used when starting the dipcd program.
