[OLSR-users] Connect via IPC

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Allrighty,

This is what the new ipc config section looks like now:

# Allow processes like the GUI front-end
# to connect to the daemon.

IpcConnect
{
      # Determines how many simultaneously
      # IPC connections that will be allowed
      # Setting this to 0 disables IPC

      MaxConnections  1

      # By default only 127.0.0.1 is allowed
      # to connect. Here allowed hosts can
      # be added

      Host            127.0.0.1
      Host            10.0.0.5

      # Specify entire net-ranges that are
      # allowed to connect

      Net             192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
}

(there is only IPv4 support for the IPC socket for now)
