An accept file provides a means of granting or denying access to a gadget
based on the user's IP number and/or domain name. If you are experiencing
abuse via one of the gadgets (eg: someone posts nasty articles to your
PostIt page, or bothers people on your Chat page), you can use a file
like this to block their site. An accept file is just a simple ASCII text file with one entry per line. Each entry has either the command "accept" or "reject", followed by the IP number or domain name in question. Here's an example:
accept scooby.islandnet.com reject 199.175.107.* reject *freenet.victoria.bc.caIn this example, the second line will reject all access attempts from any site with an IP number that begins "199.175.107." The first line will allow connections from "scooby.islandnet.com". Scooby is actually a computer with a 199.175.107. IP number, but since that line comes first, it takes priority. The first two lines effectively block all machines on the 199.175.107.* network, *except* the one named "scooby.islandnet.com". The third line rejects all connections from any computers in the "freenet.victoria.bc.ca" domain, regardless of their actual IP number. All other IP numbers or host names are accepted. If an entry has no wildcards, then it must match exactly (case is not important). You may only use a single wildcard (*) in an entry, and it must appear at the beginning of a host name, or the end of an IP number. You cannot have something like scooby.*.com.
