Re: IP Filtering Patch

Fair enough.

By default the local machine addresses should be allowed.

The current CVS tree always adds 127.0.0.1, even if you delete it AND  
blocks connections from the local machine even if 127.0.0.1 is allowed  
(as they appear to come in on the adaptor's address.)

Patches, anyone?
