It isn't documented (yet?). The default access allowed for a TCP
connection (assuming tcp_wrappers lets you connect at all) is
pretty conservative. The default is set in config.h. You can
use an "authsimple <pathname>" config option to specify a file
of simple authorisations which contains lines like:
iamgod 0xffffffff
trustme control,auth,monitor,up,down
The word on the left is something you can type in to the new
dctrl's auth pop up. The stuff on the right are the flags that
get set (you can find a definitive list in access.c). It's simple
but better than nothing at all. Maybe. :-)
