The `TRANSLATION' section specifies how to translate remote or local user names, or host names or addresses, to local user names. The `TRANSLATION' section is available only in the system configuration file. Syntax:
---BEGIN TRANSLATION--- translate [user@]address into username ... ---END--- |
address means host name or IP address. You can also specify `0.0.0.0', and it means any address (`INADDR_ANY').
An example:
---BEGIN TRANSLATION--- translate jack@somewhere.net into john ---END--- |
The rule above will allow a remote user `jack' at `somewhere.net' to use the configuration file of the local user `john'. Or you can write: `translate somewhere.net into john', and this means that all users at `somewhere.net' are allowed to use the local john's configuration file.
