[Xitami] only localhost access for xitami - help

[Michael diLorenzo]

In your Xitami.cfg file, you will find the following:

[Security]
   webmask=

Add your IP address to this (I suggest 127.0.0.1 instead of your external 
IP, just in case your ISP gives you a new one down the road).  Once you 
add an IP to this list, all other IPs will be blocked.

NOTE:  I would actually create a file called defaults.cfg in your Xitami 
directory, and add these two lines to that file.  I try to never change 
Xitami.cfg.  Whatever is in defaults.cfg will be loaded after your 
Xitami.cfg file, and therefore the settings in defaults.cfg will replace 
those in Xitami.cfg.

Don't worry about copying everything from Xitami.cfg over to defaults.  
Only the things that actually appear in defaults will override.  If it's 
not in defaults, Xitami will keep the Xitami.cfg values.  (Did that make 
sense??)

Let me know if you need more details.

Michael
