Does GNATS access control work for non-network-mode ?

Does GNATS access control work when using GNATS locally (non-network-mode) ?

I am using GNATS 4.0 and can get the proper access working in network mode (i.e. when I try accessing GNATS from a different host). When I run send-pr or query-pr from the same host, however, GNATS seems to completely ignore whatever access control I place in gnatsd.host_access or gnatsd.user_access (for the appropriate database).

gnatsd.host_access:

localhost:deny:
*:deny:

gnatsd.user_access:

*::deny:whatever


Even with the above files, I can still query or create new PRs at will.

Please help,
