Is this host.allow syntax okay?

Hi,

I was hoping someone could look at this and tell me if it is alright. I read the man page, but even though it has references to "daemon_list" and "client_list," it does not give examples of how to refer to more than one client or service per line, and I don't know if I got it right. I am not sure about the spaces, etc. Maybe I should make a separate rule for each service? Or is this okay? Help appreciated.

Code:

# hosts.allow   This file contains access rules which are used to
#               allow or deny connections to network services that
#               either use the tcp_wrappers library or that have been
#               started through a tcp_wrappers-enabled xinetd.
#
#
telnetd:        192.178.125.1
vsftpd, sshd, slapd, rcpbind, snmpd:    192.178.125.0/255.255.255.0, localhost

Found something in man 5 hosts_access that says list elements should be separated by blanks and/or commas. I missed it the first time, sorry. So I think it is alright.

the format I'm staring at suggests daemon: <ip0> <ip1>

but besides

Code:

sshd: <ip0> <ip1>

what else can be used instead of sshd?
