|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.39.1 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An etc/hosts.deny rule specifies one or more daemons mapped to one or more clients, with zero or more options for rejecting traffic when found.
|
|
|
|
Use the where clause to match a property to one or more rules in the hosts.deny file:
|
|
|
|
describe etc_hosts_deny.where { daemon == 'value' } do
|
|
its ('client_list') { should include ['values'] }
|
|
its ('options') { should include ['values'] }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
Use the optional constructor parameter to give an alternative path to hosts.deny:
|
|
|
|
describe etc_hosts_deny(hosts_path).where { daemon == 'value' } do
|
|
its ('client_list') { should include ['values'] }
|
|
its ('options') { should include ['values'] }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `daemon` is a daemon that will be rejected to pass traffic in.
|
|
* `client_list` is a list of clients will be rejected to pass traffic in.
|
|
* `options` is a list of tasks that to be done with the rule when traffic is found.
