No wonder it works! :)               NB> I don't think "*" should be a default example in any case, since that        NB> could potentially cause problems. so I think the '127.0.0.1' is and        NB> always has been just a placeholder for people to change.              Before I just had 127.0.0.1 as I only want to allow connections from nginx       running on the same VPS.              What would I put in smapinntpd.allow if I wanted to restrict access to a       single IPv4 address?              I don't have port 5000 exposed to the public internet, so it's not really much       of a concern, more of a belt & suspenders approach.                     Jay              ... I have an inferiority complex but it's not a very good one              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Northern Realms (1:229/664)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 128/260 135/225 153/7715 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 266/512 282/1038 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848       PATH: 229/664 426           |
