Each of these fields may be a literal name or <literal>*</literal>, which |
|
|
|
|
matches anything. The first matching entry will be used, so put more-specific |
|
|
|
|
entries first. When an entry contain <literal>:</literal> or |
|
|
|
|
<literal>\</literal>, it must be escaped with <literal>\</literal>. |

Each of the first four fields may be a literal value, or <literal>*</literal>, |
|
|
|
|
which |
|
|
|
|
matches anything. The password field from the first line that matches the |
|
|
|
|
current connection parameters will be used. (Therefore, put more-specific |
|
|
|
|
entries first when you are using wildcards.) |
|

If an entry needs to contain <literal>:</literal> or |
|
|
|
|
<literal>\</literal>, escape this character with <literal>\</literal>. |
