flexfax: Re: hosts.hfaxd howto?

[George Zeigler <genz1968@mtu-net.ru>]

Hello,
	^*.*.*.* is just what I was looking for.  
	The man page for hosts.hfaxd said to use the format
user@host

	On my Linux install, I set
host name to "host-name"
domain name to "domain-name"
Makes it easier for me to understand what I'm looking at.
	Now I believe the name of my machine is the host name so, setting
permission for only user "george" on my laptop would literally be
george@host-name$:::
	Does that sound right?  Or do I need to put the domain name in there as
well, such as
george@host-name.domain-name$:::
	And what does the $::: do?
	And I notice root has no problems, so this type of line is not
necessary for root?
Thanks
George
