proper format for /etc/networks
whats the proper format for /etc/networks in
debian? i've never had to use this file before
but it looks like i do now in order to use
certain options with snort.
theres no manpage on it, i looked at the solaris
version of networks and tried to do the file that
way but it didn't seem to work.
network_name 192.168.50.0
from the solaris manpage:
Network numbers may be specified in the conventional dot
(`.') notation using the inet_network routine from the
Internet address manipulation library, inet(7P). Network
names may contain any printable character other than a field
delimiter, NEWLINE, or comment character.
[..]
The network database does not support subnet masks in gen-
eral, so getnetbyaddr(3N) cannot differentiate between net-
works of 11.128.0.0/255.192.0.0 and 11.128.0.0/255.240.0.0.
