Accepting or rejecting some clients

By default, the server can accept any client, but it's possible to set only a range of valid IP clients.
For example, for a server installed in a machine with IP=174.46.94.467, to accept only intranet clients (with the same firsts three IP sub fields as the server), you must add to the acceptIP list the value:

174.46.94.*

Then a client with IP=174.46.94.45 is accepted, but another with IP=235.75.94.3 will be rejected. (The wildcard '*' is used to match any number)

Note: * must be used to match a complete IP sub field, it is not valid for example to use 174.46.94.3*

It's possible also to explicitly exclude some clients, with 'rejectIP <IP>', for example, you can exclude the clients 174.46.96.32 and 174.46.96.32, with

acceptIP 174.46.94.*
rejectIP 174.46.96.32
rejectIP 174.46.96.33

The licence for a program can also add some restrictions about the clients. For instance only accept client machines which share with the server the first three IP digits
