names_deny.txt

The names_deny.txt file defines the NetBackup client or server names that hosts cannot use. NetBackup checks this file only if the names_allow.txt file does not have a matching entry for the host and name. If a matching entry is found in names_deny.txt the name is not allowed and authentication fails. Otherwise, the name is used and authentication proceeds.

Example names_deny.txt File

   # The entry below prevents the name fred to be used for hosts
   # in the theircompany.com domain.
   fred : .theircompany.com
   #
   # The entry below prevents any names from being used for hosts
   # with IP addresses in the 12.123.53 network.
   ALL : 123.123.53.

The default file contains only the following entry:

ALL : ALL

This means that all names are denied for all hosts, unless it is specified otherwise in the names_allow.txt file.
