Hi,
Though trying to provide the equivalent of /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
for services not controlled by tcp wrappers and inetd is laudable,
this specific case could easily be addressed by a simple change in
the default access.conf (this is apache specific, I am sure other
servers have equivalent mechanisms). This is what my access.conf
snippet for /usr/share/doc looks like:
<Directory /usr/share/doc>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from localhost
allow from .green-gryphon.com
</Directory>
Voila. Best of both worlds.
Should this not just be a bug report agasinst all servers,
rather than being mandated by policy?
