locals, the

from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)
locals, the
 pl.n.

   The users on one's local network (as opposed, say, to people one
   reaches via public Internet connections). The marked thing about this
   usage is how little it has to do with real-space distance. "I have to
   do some tweaking on this mail utility before releasing it to the
   locals."
