5 Manual configuration

You can use the configuration file ${sysconfdir}/libnetblock.progban to specify which programs should LibNetBlock not mess with. Put each entry on its own line.

${sysconfdir} is /usr/local/etc unless set otherwise during configure.

If additional banning files haven’t been disabled (How to compile?), they can be located in users’ home directories (e.g. /home/user1/.libnetblock.progban). You can also put the file in any location and set the environment variable LIBNETBLOCK_BANFILE to point at that file, e.g.

‘export LIBNETBLOCK_BANFILE=/opt/config/libnetblock.progban’

The /proc filesystem must be mounted in order for program banning to work right now.
