# etc_hosts_allow
|
|
|
|
Use the `etc_hosts_allow` InSpec audit resource to test rules set to accept daemon and client traffic set in /etc/hosts.allow file.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An etc/hosts.allow rule specifies one or more daemons mapped to one or more clients,
|
|
with zero or more options to use to accept traffic when found.
|
|
|
|
Use the where clause to match a property to one or more rules in the hosts.allow file.
|
|
|
|
describe etc_hosts_allow.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.allow
|
|
|
|
describe etc_hosts_allow(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 allowed to pass traffic in.
|
|
* `client_list` is a list of clients will be allowed to pass traffic in.
|
|
* `options` is a list of tasks that to be done with the rule when traffic is found.
