Each of these fields may be a literal name or <literal>*</literal>, which
matches anything. The first matching entry will be used, so put more-specific
entries first. When an entry contain <literal>:</literal> or
<literal>\</literal>, it must be escaped with <literal>\</literal>.
Each of the first four fields may be a literal value, or <literal>*</literal>,

matches anything. The password field from the first line that matches the
current connection parameters will be used. (Therefore, put more-specific
entries first when you are using wildcards.)
If an entry needs to contain <literal>:</literal> or
<literal>\</literal>, escape this character with <literal>\</literal>.
