Your Eagle authorization file may contain rules for any
Eaglet network partitioners on your network; the Eaglet
itself does not store an authorization file on disk. Rather,
the Eaglet receives its authorization information in encrypted
form from the Eagle and maintains it in memory tables.
The Eaglet knows where the Eagle is on the network
through a special file, eagle.eyrie, which contains a single
entry which is either the hostname or the IP address for
the Eagle.
Entries for Eaglets in the gateway.cf authorization file begin with the Eaglet's hostname and use the following format:
eaglethostname: <source...> allow <destination...>
The Eaglet follows only those rules in the authorization file which apply to it. Other rules are ignored.
