You may have heard that the Andrew File System -- [AFS](http://www.openafs.org/) -- allows IP address-based entries for directory ACLs. The idea is that processes running on a machine with a given IP address can access protected directories without needing further authentication. You may have even tried it. If you're like me, you were frustrated. Now I've discovered the secrets, and I'm going to share them with you. You don't even have to bribe me.
Why would you want IP-based access? One scenario is that you have files whose access should be limited to certain machines. Maybe you have software that should only be run on certain machines because of legal or hardware limitations. Maybe authentication for certain processes is a drag to work out. Whatever your reason, this is pretty easy to do after you know the tricks, and seems to provide a moderate level of security.

Some introductory information and relevant links:
These examples were created under AFS 3.4a and [Sun](http://www.sun.com)'s [Solaris](http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/) 2.6. <br /> Documentation links were to Transarc's documentation, until IBM [changed the links and made the version 3.6](http://www-3.ibm.com/software/stormgmt/afs/manuals/Library/unix/en_US/HTML/AdminRef/auarf002.htm). Now my documentation links point to the open source version's site, [OpenAFS](http://www.openafs.org). <br /> Transarc, the original commercial developer of AFS, is now [IBM](http://www.ibm.com)'s Pittsburgh Lab.<br /> AFS was first developed at [Carnegie Mellon University](http://www.cmu.edu/) as part of the [ Andrew Project](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~AUIS/). <br /> For more information about AFS, try reading the [FAQ](http://www.faqs.org/faqs/by-newsgroup/alt/alt.filesystems.afs.html) for the USENET newsgroup [alt.filesystems.afs](news:alt.filesystems.afs). <br />
