This is the original default line that has always been there, and should be changed to suit your needs. " What Is 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 is a host loopback address. Host loopback refers to the fact that no data packet addressed to 127.0.0.1 should ever leave the computer (host), sending it --- instead of being sent to the local network or the internet, it simply gets "looped back" on itself, and the computer sending the packet becomes the recipient." Also, in the paragraph above it tells you "*" supercedes the rest of what follows, so *127.0.0.1 is actually just "*", and with that said... If you want to allow ALL connections, use: * Keep in mind, this file is only allowing NON-LOGGED IN clients access to specific groups. You DON'T want to allow access to all of your message areas prior to them setting up an account with you and logging in, so you setup a dummy area and group like "+GETACCESS+" in group X (for example) and that would be the only group and area a non-logged in account would have access to. They can post a message there requesting access to anything else, which you would have to set them up manually in the smapinntpd.users file, where you specify what LOGGED IN accounts have access to. JH> Not sure if you would want to include that as an example for IPv4 JH> addresses in that file?  I haven't looked, but I'm wondering if the code JH> reading smapinntpd.allow doesn't recognize the : character. I don't think "*" should be a default example in any case, since that could potentially cause problems. so I think the '127.0.0.1' is and always has been just a placeholder for people to change.
