[OLSR-users] port 1212

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Yes, you are right, the IP check is done within the code. This might
not be the best solution(the whole GUI IPC design badly needs a
redesign ;) ), but it provides and easy way for users to add other IPs
that will be accepted, which is handy when running olsrd on embedded
devices.
