Description

The ServiceAccessController class does not work with ip6 addresses. I have added an if statement that skips ip6 addresses.

Also I think we should use the standard ip bit mask filtering rule style for the masks that xinetd uses. I found a ok description of the style here http://www.hn.edu.cn/book/NetWork/NetworkingBookshelf_2ndEd/tcp/ch12_05.htm (look near the bottom of this page) but I bet there are better ones out there.

172.16.12.5 defines a specific host

129.6.0.0 defines all hosts with an address that begins with 129.6

0.0.0.0 matches all addresses

172.16.12.

{3,6,8,23}

defines four different hosts: 172.16.12.3, 172.16.12.6, 172.16.12.8, and 172.16.12.23

172.16.12.128/25 match every address from 172.16.12.128 to 172.16.12.255

I also think you can do the following which is an address and a mask:

172.16.12.0/255.255.224.0
