    Agent accept connections from entire network

    Dear all,

    in the agent config there is the following:

    ### Option: Server
    # List of comma delimited IP addresses (or hostnames) of Zabbix servers.
    # Incoming connections will be accepted only from the hosts listed here.
    # No spaces allowed.
    # If IPv6 support is enabled then '127.0.0.1', '::127.0.0.1', '::ffff:127.0.0.1' are treated equally.
    #
    # Mandatory: no
    # Default:
    # Server=

    Server=127.0.0.1
    Does the server parameter accept an entire network like 192.168.1.0 instead of a specific ip?

    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    I doubt. It would mean that everybody who can run a server in that network may query taht agent (and even execute commands, if defined). Very very bad idea.

    As long as zabbix has no builtin encryption and host/client validation I would strongly advise to NOT IMPLEMENT that function ;-)
