During installation you will be asked for these values. The configuration data is held globally in a file in the perl installation tree, but a user may override any of these values by providing thier own. This can be done by having a C<.libnetrc> file in thier home directory. This file should return a reference to a HASH containing the keys described below. For example # .libnetrc { nntp_hosts => [ "my_prefered_host" ], ph_hosts => [ "my_ph_server" ], } __END__ =head1 METHODS C defines the following methods. They are methods as they are invoked as class methods. This is because C inherits from C so you can override these methods if you want. =over 4 =item requires_firewall HOST Attempts to determine if a given host is outside your firewall. Possible return values are. -1 Cannot lookup hostname 0 Host is inside firewall (or there is no ftp_firewall entry) 1 Host is outside the firewall This is done by using hostname lookup and the C entry in the configuration data. =back =head1 NetConfig VALUES =over 4 =item nntp_hosts =item snpp_hosts =item pop3_hosts =item smtp_hosts =item ph_hosts =item daytime_hosts =item time_hosts Each is a reference to an array of hostnames (in order of preference), which should be used for the given protocol =item inet_domain Your internet domain name =item ftp_firewall If you have an FTP proxy firewall (B a HTTP or SOCKS firewall) then this value should be set to the firewall hostname. If your firewall does not listen to port 21, then this value should be set to C<"hostname:port"> (eg C<"hostname:99">) =item ftp_ext_passive =item ftp_int_pasive FTP servers normally work on a non-passive mode. That is when you want to transfer data you have to tell the server the address and port to connect to. With some firewalls this does not work as te server cannot connect to your machine (because you are beind a firewall) and the firewall does not re-write te command. In this case you should set C to a I value. Some servers are configured to only work in passive mode. If you have one of these you can force C to always transfer in passive mode, when not going via a firewall, by cetting C to a I value. =item local_netmask A reference to a list of netmask strings in the form C<"134.99.4.0/24">. These are used by the C function to determine if a given host is inside or outside your firewall. =back The following entries are used during installation & testing on the libnet package =over 4 =item test_hosts If true them C may attempt to connect to hosts given in the configuration. =item test_exists If true the C will check each hostname given that it exists =back =cut
