# yhost(1)

Y sound system host access modification

## NAME

yhost - Y sound system host access modification

## SYNTAX

**yhost** \[-\] \<*address*\> \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Adds or removes host addresses from the Y server's list of hosts allowed to connect to it.

## ADDRESS

Specifying a - infront of the argument means to remove the \<*address*\> from the list.

\<*address*\> is the numeric IP or named address of the host you want to allow/disallow access to the Y server.

Note that the yhost command must be runned on the same physical computer as the Y server is running on.

## OPTIONS

- **--recorder** \<*address*:*port*\>

  Specify which Y server to connect to.

- **--help**

  Print help screen and exit.

## RETURN VALUE

- **0**

  Success.

- **1**

  General error.

- **2**

  Cannot connect to Y server error.

- **3**

  Systems error.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

- **RECORDER**

  Specifies the Y server \<*address*:*port*\> to connect to. This is a fall back if the argument **--recorder** is not specified.

## EXAMPLES

To add 63.97.42.127 to the yhost access list, type:

\# yhost 63.97.42.127

To remove 63.97.42.127 from the yhost access list, type:

\# yhost - 63.97.42.127

In all cases the yhost command must be runned on the same computer that the Y server is running on. Give IP (number and dots notation) addresses whenever possible to improve security.
