DESCRIPTION

10       The  CGI programs (upsset.cgi(8), upsstats.cgi(8), upsimage.cgi(8)) use
11       this file to determine if they are allowed to talk  to  a  host.   This
12       keeps  random  visitors  from  using your web server to annoy others by
13       creating outgoing connections.

19              The ups element is in the  form  "upsname@hostname[:port]".   To
20              allow  connections  to  a UPS called "snoopy" on a system called
21              "doghouse" that runs upsd on port 7877, it would look like this:

23                   MONITOR snoopy@doghouse:7877 "Joe Cool"

25              The description must be one element, so if it has  spaces,  then
26              it must be wrapped with quotes as shown above.
