The way I do this is to add the MAC address of the allowed machine to a
fixed DHCP address lease, and then add a line like this to the bottom of
initialize.fw:

/usr/local/nocat/bin/access.fw permit 00:0F:66:A2:5A:3D 172.22.2.92
Owner

Of course, you'll need to change the path, MAC, and IP to reflect your
installation.

Thanks!
