Doesn't *:1212 mean that olsrd listen on all interfaces on TCP port 1212 
and not only 127.0.0.1:1212?

Do you block access from other sources inside olsrd-code handing access 
to this port?

Wouldn't it be better to only listen to 127.0.0.1:1212 
(INADDR_LOOPBACK:1212) instead of INADDR_ANY:1212?

Just curious :)
