Is there anyway to configure Avalon (at least the branch we're using) so
that it doesn't expose to all IP addresses the "die!" command?  Before I
realized this just now, someone could telnet into port 4554 on my mail
server machine, type die!, and the server dies.  Fortunately I was on an OS
where I could restrict something like this, but this is a huge hole.

Unless there's a way to configure this, I'd like to patch the Avalon branch
we're on to only process connections that are from the local machine... I
just don't think we can allow the 1.2 release to go out like this.  Any
strong comments against?
