NOTE: For all these clauses, you must copy the libraries
/usr/lib/libnss_files.1 and /usr/lib/libdld.2 to the /usr/lib
directory of the current environment.
• Virtual Server
You can use the virtual server clauses to restrict user access to both the virtual and
non-virtual domains. Additionally, you can use the options specified in the virtual
clause to display the virtual host name.
The syntax for the virtual clause is as follows:
virtual <address> allow <username> [ username ...]
virtual <address> deny <username> [ username ...]
virtual <address> private
virtual <address> hostname email string
defaultserver deny <username> [ username ...]
defaultserver allow <username> [ username ...]
defaultserver private
Table 2 specifies different virtual clause examples.
