This is a DSO (dynamically shared object) module for the Apache webserver
that uses libwrap (TCP Wrappers) to check if the connecting hosts is allowed.
-This system works well with dynamic blocking scripts, such as DenyHosts, and
-configfile distribution systems, such as Cfengine. Especially if other blocking
-methods differ between hosts at a site (e.g. kernel-level firewalling means).
-
-You'll need to add the following line to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
- Include /etc/httpd/mod_hosts_access.conf
-
-LoadModule hosts_access_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_hosts_access.so
-
-The /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} access control checking for the "httpd" service
-can now be enabled or disabled on a per directory basis, by adding HostsAccess
-directive to its declaration, e.g. again in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
-
-# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
-# permissions.
-#
-#<Directory />
-# HostsAccess On
-# Options FollowSymLinks
-# AllowOverride None
-#</Directory>
-
-To test, restart apache for it to load the module; edit /etc/hosts.allow
-adding a line like the following:
-
-httpd: localhost: deny
-
-Access from 'localhost' (127.0.0.1) should now be disallowed, thus requesting
-the index page should fail, to verify try:
-
- lynx -dump localhost
-
-The same can be done in a .htaccess file if AllowOverride Limit has been set.
