gconfd and multiple machines

[Jeremy Sanders <jss ast cam ac uk>]

Hi -

I noticed in http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ that it's possible to
log in from more than one machine at once.

I'm worried about the potential security aspect of enabling
"ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc though. Will it mean that anyone would be
able to read/write gconf strings if this is enabled, or is it a potential
security hole?

Whilst browsing the orbit source, it seems possible to use tcpwrappers to
restrict the IP addresses connecting to the gconf server. Does anyone one
know how to specify this in /etc/hosts.allow for RedHat?

Thanks

Jeremy
