access.conf

[Scott]

I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to do.  Access.conf is 
generally used for web related stuff.  However, based on your description, 
you are trying to "control" local logins.  Also, based on the syntax you 
used, it looks should be using host.allow and/or host.deny files.

As I said, I am a bit confused on what you are asking - so if I've really 
missed it and am way out in left field, just ignore me.
