   From smapinntpd.allow:   
      
   # "*" can be used as a wildcard. Everything after "*" is ignored, i. e.   
   # 127.0.*.1 is equivalent to 127.0.*. Just write "*" alone on a line to   
   # allow all IP numbbers.   
      
   This means *127.0.0.1 = *   
      
   Which is exactly what you're doing already.   
      
   127.0.0.1 is probably just a placeholder for the host machine itself, so that   
   you're not allowing traffic from the outside world without knowledge of it   
   if/when one tries starting smapinntpd up for the first time without specifics.   
      
   You can always try limiting actual IP addresses in that file (and by all   
   means, try actual IPv6 addresses to see if they work).
