Hi, I don't know if this is relevant here, but in Gnu/Linux systems, I have seen integers commonly used in place of subnet mask. This integer indicates how many MSBs (most significant bits) of the 32 bit subnet mask is 1. Thus, a subnet mask 255.255.0.0 would correspond to 16 and 255.255.255.0 would correspond to 24. Besides, the hosts.allow man page says this:
"An expression of the form ‘n.n.n.n/mm’ is interpreted as a ‘net/ masklength’ pair, where ‘mm’ is the number of consecutive ‘1’ bits in the netmask applied to the ‘n.n.n.n’ address" Regards, Gokul Das On May 15, 4:43 pm, Syam Krishnan <sya...@gmail.com> wrote: > What are those /24 doing at the end of these lines?
