I don't follow - I need to download the source, apply the patch in the
above bug, then rebuild the entire thing before I have any hope of
administering this server?
Is there some kind of manual override that I can use to switch this
behaviour off? Or alternatively if this is not possible, to require
localhost so that I can run the admin server behind a reverse proxy
whose access control does work properly?
Having changed the *.domain.com to * I am now getting this error:
[Sat Mar 04 10:42:50 2006] [notice] [client xx.xx.xx.xx]
admserv_host_ip_check: Unauthorized host ip=xx.xx.xx.xx, connection rejected
Google finds other people with this problem, apparently "*" doesn't mean
"let everybody in", but instead it means "let everyone in whose reverse
DNS works". In this case reverse DNS does work, but I may be getting
bitten by bug 183925.
So in short, does the admin server in v1.0.2 work at all, or am I just
wasting my time? :(

Graham
