+.SH NAME
+[/etc/]opieaccess \- OPIE database of trusted networks
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I opieaccess
+file contains a list of networks that are considered trusted by the system as
+far as security against passive attacks is concerned. Users from networks so
+trusted will be able to log in using OPIE responses, but not be required to
+do so, while users from networks that are not trusted will always be required
+to use OPIE responses (the default behavior). This trust allows a site to
+have a more gentle migration to OPIE by allowing it to be non-mandatory for
+"inside" networks while allowing users to choose whether they with to use OPIE
+to protect their passwords or not.
+.sp
+The entire notion of trust implemented in the
+.I opieaccess
+file is a major security hole because it opens your system back up to the same
+passive attacks that the OPIE system is designed to protect you against. The
+.I opieaccess
+support in this version of OPIE exists solely because we believe that it is
+better to have it so that users who don't want their accounts broken into can
+use OPIE than to have them prevented from doing so by users who don't want
+to use OPIE. In any environment, it should be considered a transition tool and
+not a permanent fixture. When it is not being used as a transition tool, a
+version of OPIE that has been built without support for the
+.I opieaccess
+file should be built to prevent the possibility of an attacker using this file
+as a means to circumvent the OPIE software.
+.sp
+The
+.I opieaccess
+file consists of lines containing three fields separated by spaces (tabs are
+properly interpreted, but spaces should be used instead) as follows:
+.PP
+.nf
+.ta \w' 'u
+Field Description
+action "permit" or "deny" non-OPIE logins
+address Address of the network to match
+mask Mask of the network to match
+.fi
+
+Subnets can be controlled by using the appropriate address and mask. Individual
+hosts can be controlled by using the appropriate address and a mask of
+255.255.255.255. If no rules are matched, the default is to deny non-0PIE
+logins.
