Quick question - I'm working on taking advantage of the new >OK_pattern and NOT_pattern - can you give me an example where I only >want to specific a NOT_pattern? Would it look like this: > >ALLOW ANY iceberg\.ssec\.wisc\.edu .* USAP.AMRC.* > >or is it: > >ALLOW ANY iceberg\.ssec\.wisc\.edu [[USAP.AMRC.*]] Your first example is mostly correct; the second is not correct. I suggest you change your first allow to: ALLOW ANY ^iceberg\.ssec\.wisc\.edu$ .* USAP\.AMRC\. The changes are in the specification of the host (more specific if that is what you are after) and in the NOT pattern (the periods are part of your product name, not regular expression matches for any character. >Thank you!
