Re: flexfax: WHFC and HylaFax 4.1beta2 password problem.

Although the failure mode is towards excess permission, so this
will not help you, the correct form is:


127\.0\.0\.1$                      # localhost
192\.77\.226\.                    # anybody in 192.77.226 net
.*\.panasonicfa\.com$             # anybody in *.panasonicfa.com
192\.168\.1\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.1 net
192\.168\.2\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.2 net
192\.168\.3\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.3 net
192\.168\.4\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.4 net
192\.168\.5\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.5 net
192\.168\.6\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.6 net
192\.168\.7\.                     # anybody in the 192.168.7 net

The final \. is to avoid 192.168.10....192.168.19 and 192.168.100...
192.168.199 matching and 192\.168\.[1-7]\.[0-9]*$ would be even safer.

Note that the panasonicfa line wouldn't have matched any valid domain
name, because it started with *, not .*

Given the number of non-Unix people trying to use the software now,
the man page really needs to be fixed to avoid the 127.0.0.1 example,
as such people don't realise that the . is special (or that * is a
suffix operator).
