    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>An ip <emphasis>address</emphasis> (network or host) that
          matches the source IP address in a packet. May also be specified as
          an <emphasis>interface</emphasis> name optionally followed by ":"
          and an address. If the device <emphasis role="bold">lo</emphasis> is
          specified, the packet must originate from the firewall
          itself.</para>
