restricting users access to clients?

[Matt Ashfield]

Ok, the users file it is! Thanks!

I guess I was hoping for a link to an example of some sort. Because the user
who would be given access is not explicitly defined in the users file (the
users is defined in LDAP), I'm not sure how to setup a rule for that person.

Thanks again,

Cheers

  Write rules in the "users" file.

  No.  The clients.conf file just defines clients.  It doesn't do
anything more than that.

  There's no reason code couldn't be written to permit that, though...
