Description Klaus Hartnegg 2010-10-18 07:03:12 UTC 
According to the manpage of hosts_access (smb.conf refers to that), it is allowed to use wildcards ? and * in IP addresses in the option "allow hosts".
Also my tests show that it actually works.
But testparm says they are invalid.

sample config line:
allow hosts = 192.168.1.169, 192.168.1.17?, 192.168.1.18?
