allow host syntax

[David Collier-Brown]

You asked:
| Is there anyway to specify a range of IP addresses such as
| 128.1.10.11 to 128.1.10.29 in this parameter ?
| I cannot find the man page for hosts_access(5) as mentioned in the
| smb.conf documentation.

	No, but you can use ranges written as, for eaxmple 
	192.168.2.10/24 (24 bits in network part) or
	192.168.2.10/255.255.255.0 (netmask format)
 
	This means you can accept/deny a range that starts from 0.

	As your range is from 11 (= 013 = 000 001 011) tp
	29 (=035 = 000 011 101), this is better done with
	domain names: you could allow mine.my-company.com
	and deny everyone-else.my-company.com.
