Correct. All 127.* addresses (localhost) + anything matching 192.168.*.
This * notation is ad hoc but shorter to type than the truely meaningful
netmask notation.
> Authorized addresses: [127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0, 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0]
Correct. Those are the proper network/netmask notations.
> I thought it should read 127.0.0.0/127.0.0.255,
192.168.0.0/192.168.255.255
No. Those are wrong. You need to understand how a network and netmask work
to provide subnet matching. I apologize, but I lack the time to do that
today. You can look at the NetMatcher code in o.a.james.util, and hopefully
someone can explain it. It is all about binary masking.
Your operations people gave you the right information.
