Hi - I noticed in http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ that it's possible to log in from more than one machine at once. I'm worried about the potential security aspect of enabling "ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc though. Will it mean that anyone would be able to read/write gconf strings if this is enabled, or is it a potential security hole? Whilst browsing the orbit source, it seems possible to use tcpwrappers to restrict the IP addresses connecting to the gconf server. Does anyone one know how to specify this in /etc/hosts.allow for RedHat?
